Acer Stella Rossa

Acer Stella Rossa Details

Acer palmatum dissectum Stella Rossa is an impressive, small Japanese Maple which featues a rich display of interestingly coloured, weeping foliage. The finely cut leaves emerge pink-red and darken to a rich purple through summer. As autumn progresses, the leaves turn flame red before falling. It typically grows to 2 m tall and the same 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. Acer Stella Rossa is ideal for mixed plantings, planting to soften a bland wall, maintaining in a container, planting around outdoor living areas, or for using anywhere the spectacular colour can be enjoyed.
