A lace-leaf Japanese Maple selection with finely cut leaves.  It retains its bright crimson-red colour well during the summer, turning red again in the Fall.  A dense, mounding, cutleaf maple with cascading branches.

Best planted in a well-drained soil with high organic matter. Japanese Maples are grown as specimen trees or multi-stemmed plants. Any pruning should be done in summer. Mulch well, but avoid heaping mulch against the stem. Most cultivars need full sun or light afternoon shade.  

Place in a sheltered location and provide winter protection as this plant is borderline hardy.
