Acer palmatum is a deciduous, woody shrub native to parts of Asia and Russia. There are many garden-worthy cultivars available, which have been bred for their leaf shapes and colours.
Acer palmatum ‘Elegans’ has pretty, serrated mid-green leaves, which turn a beautiful orange-red before falling in autumn. It’s perfect for a small garden or even a large container.
For best results, grow Acer palmatum ‘Elegans’ in sun or partial shade, and protect it from the harshest winds, which may cause leaf scorch.
