The outstanding feature of this cultivar is the persistence of the good deep red color throughout the entire growing season. Under heat and full sun the deep red will become orange-red. Fall colors range into the extremely bright scarlet tones. This is a strong growing dissectum reaching about 10’ in height and 13’ wide.
The Crimson Queen can be used in many interesting ways inside a Japanese garden. From being strategically positioned so as to serve as the focal point of the entire garden the Crimson Queen can be grown in bonsai form that requires detailed observation.
