Bring refined structure and dramatic seasonal colour into your garden with Acer palmatum ‘Garnet’ – one of the most admired dissectum Japanese maples, prized for its deeply cut laceleaf foliage and graceful cascading growth habit.

Care & Growing Conditions

Prefers a bright, sheltered location with light sun to partial shade.

Avoid excessive hot afternoon sun in very exposed locations. The finely dissected foliage benefits from protection against strong drying winds.

Soil should be:
• well-drained
• humus-rich
• evenly lightly moist

Regular watering is beneficial, however waterlogging should always be avoided.

Low maintenance once established.

Hardy when planted in the ground; young or container-grown specimens benefit from winter protection.
