2. Adding Japanese Maples to gardens provides beauty, elegance and
a unique flair. They are slow-growing trees that come in many
varieties, so there is something to fit every garden space. These
trees thrive in acidic soils with good drainage, but are low
maintenance and require minimal upkeep once established.
Planting in a sunny spot will provide more vibrant coloring
throughout the changing seasons of fall, winter and spring.

5. The foliage of this low, slow-growing
Kawaii Full Moon maple looks fantastic
throughout the season. Bright pink-red
spring leaves of this Kawaii Japanese
Maple become orange-red with green
highlights in early summer and bright
red and orange in fall. Chartreuse leaf
bases and light petioles add to the
appeal. In Japanese, the name ‘Kawaii’
means “cute,” not to be confused with
the Hawaiin island Kauai. Dissectum.

Orangeola Japanese Maple is not
quite as red as many other laceleafs
weeping Japanese maples, but the
foliage is orange-red when it first
emerges in spring.
By mid-summer, the color is a mix of
burgundy and muted green. Acer
palmatum Orangeola’s dramatically
cascading habit and long-term
seasonal interest make it one of our
favorites.

‘Seiryu’ Japanese Maple is a unique Lace-leaf Japanese maple
that has an upright habit, not cascading form, with annual
growth of 12-18”. Its lacy leaves emerge green with red
highlights, then light green by summer. On exposed leaves of
Seiryu Japanese Maple, red margins appear. Striking fall
colors include tones of red, orange, and yellow. The name of
this highly regarded tree means “blue-green dragon.”
Dissectum.
8. Tiny leaves on this petite Sharp’s Pygmy Japanese
maple are a nice light-green color in spring. The fall
color is a host of oranges and reds. One of the few
truly dwarf maples. This Acer palmatum ‘Sharp’s
Pygmy’ is excellent for bonsai!
