Acer palmatum dissectum cv Stella Rossa

Acer palmatum var. dissectum Stella Rossa is an impressive small Japanese maple admired for its rich, cascading foliage and ever-changing seasonal colour. New leaves unfurl in a glowing pink-red before deepening to a rich purple-red through summer, holding their colour beautifully before turning a brilliant crimson in autumn. Its finely cut, lacy foliage drapes elegantly over a weeping form, adding texture and movement to the garden. Compact and graceful, Stella Rossa is perfect for containers, courtyards, Japanese-style gardens, or as a softening feature against walls and paved areas. It also makes an excellent choice for bonsai cultivation.

Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
