Acer palmatum dissectum Heartbeat Standards

Acer palmatum Heartbeat is a stunning Australian-bred weeping maple with a soft, mushroom-shaped form and beautifully cascading branches. Its finely dissected leaves emerge a brilliant red in spring, mellowing to warm bronze tones through summer before igniting once more in glowing scarlet-red come autumn. The rich seasonal colour contrasts beautifully with greens and yellows in the garden, creating year-round interest. Compact and slow-growing, Heartbeat forms a neat, mounding shrub that requires minimal pruning to maintain its tidy shape. Its graceful habit and vivid colour make it an ideal choice for feature planting, courtyards, and large patio pots.

Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
Conditions: Thrives in partial shade. It benefits from protection from harsh wind and strong afternoon sun. Heat tolerant and easily adapts to most climatic conditions.
