The upper surface is blue green with a lighter coloured mid-rib and an acuminate apex. During autumn the leaves turn an intense red to orange-yellow before falling and is a feature of the plant.
Flower: The tiny flowers are arranged in a upright conical terminal panicle that is up to 250mm (10in) tall and appears above the foliage during summer.
