Acer palmatum dissectum 'Crimson Queen' (Maple) Details

“Crimson Queen” is a variety of Japanese Maple that features a rich display of colourful, weeping foliage. The finely cut leaves emerge a deep red-purple in spring, remain this colour through summer, then turn lovely shades of red in autumn before falling. It grows with a broad and rounded habit to about 2.5 m tall and 3.5 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, moderately sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost and cool climates and will grow on a range of soil types but will struggle at the extremes of wet and dry. “Crimson Queen” makes a lovely specimen and is ideal for including in a mixed planting, using to soften a bland wall, or planting anywhere the spectacular colour can be enjoyed.
