The classic red-leaved maple, ideal in large pots, shade or sun, in traditional and modern garden styles. Acers are slow growing, making them ideal for growing in large pots or smaller gardens, where once planted, they are very easy to maintain, and reward you with gorgeous foliage displays for many years. They do well in light shade, as the brightest summer hot sun can scorch the paler coloured leaves occasionally. Supplied as an established plant in a 1.5L pot, ready to pot up or plant out.
