The wavy-edged, dark purple foliage holds its rich colour well through summer, turning reddish-brown in autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInsignificant yellow-green flowers appear in spring, followed by typical spiny beech fruits in autumn. The smooth grey bark and sculptural weeping form provide good structural interest through winter too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTolerant of a wide range of soils including chalk, clay, loam and sand, it thrives best in a sheltered position in full sun, which brings out the deepest purple colour. Given time it reaches an eventual height and spread of around 2.5–4m, making it an excellent choice as a striking specimen for a smaller garden, courtyard, or as an eye-catching focal point in a border.\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":58787537322358,"sku":null,"price":102.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-21151539.png?v=1790000307","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/fagus-sylvatica-purpurea-pendula-12lltr-pot","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
