The smallish leaves emerge a rich red-bronze in spring, deepening to a lustrous burgundy-purple through summer, before turning warm golden-copper in autumn. The smooth, silver-grey bark creates an eye-catching silhouette once the leaves have fallen, extending interest right through winter. This variety holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInconspicuous flower catkins appear in spring, followed by typical bristly beech fruits in autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTolerant of a wide range of soils including chalk, clay, loam and sand, it thrives best in full sun, which brings out the richest purple foliage colour. Given time it will reach an eventual height of around 8–12m with a comparatively narrow spread of 2.5–4m, its slender, weeping form making it far better suited to smaller gardens and tighter spaces than most beech varieties — ideal as a dramatic focal point on the lawn or framing an entrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSupplied as a well-established plant in a 12-litre pot, ready to plant out and establish quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach plant is hand-selected before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PengellyGardenCentre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58787509895542,"sku":null,"price":102.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-21150725.png?v=1789999732","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/fagus-sylvatica-purple-fountain-12lltr-pot","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
