Description
Additional information

This purpurea selection was found in 2010 by a state botanist here in Vermont. Professor Larry Smart of Cornell University offered some to Michael a few years back and he was very impressed with them! He was given permission by the USDA to name it and offer it up! ‘Vermont Red’ is a bit more shrubby than other purpureas, making for a nice thick hedge and the fine stems for weaving projects.
