Native to the Pacific Northwest, it boasts a rounded, spreading shape with green, palmate leaves that turn fiery red-orange in fall. Prefers partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 6-9, it's ideal for understory plantings and woodland gardens, providing dynamic seasonal interest and habitat value.
