Acer palmatum – Japanese Maple with a Spectacular Autumn Colour Transformation

A living work of art for your garden, Acer palmatum is a Japanese maple valued for its elegant growth habit and remarkable seasonal foliage. Its leaves emerge in spring in shades of yellow, beige and green with delicate pink margins, develop into fresh green foliage with pink tones during summer, and transform into intense red to violet shades in autumn.

Why This Plant Stands Out

  • Spectacular seasonal foliage colours, with a particularly striking autumn display.

  • Elegant, upright and relatively compact growth habit.

  • Suitable as a specimen plant, for smaller gardens or for cultivation in a large container.

  • Organically cultivated and established, with an emphasis on quality before quantity.

Plant Characteristics

Botanical name: Acer palmatum
Common name: Japanese Maple
Growth habit: Compact and upright
Potential height: Up to approximately 4 m, depending on growing conditions and cultivar
Seasonal foliage: Yellow-beige-green with pink margins in spring, green with pink tones in summer, and red to violet in autumn
Uses: Specimen plant, garden feature or large-container plant

Cultivation & Care

Light: A sunny to partially shaded position. Some protection from strong afternoon sun can help preserve delicate foliage.

Water: Water regularly during dry periods, especially when grown in a container. Avoid waterlogging and do not allow the root ball to dry out completely.

Substrate: Fertile, humus-rich and well-drained soil. A slightly acidic to neutral substrate is generally suitable.

Winter hardiness: Japanese maples are generally cold-hardy, but hardiness varies by cultivar and growing conditions. Protect container-grown plants from severe root-ball freezing and drying winter winds.

Cultivated with Care at TOMs FLOWer CLUB

At TOMs FLOWer CLUB, we focus on unusual plants and quality before quantity. Our plants are cultivated organically, without excessive fertilisation or the practices associated with mass-produced greenhouse stock. We favour careful growing, established root systems and plants that can adapt to their new environment.
