Acer palmatum 'Atropurpureum' is an ideal small tree for a sheltered position and makes an excellent specimen for large patio containers. Features and Benefits Dramatic displays of colour from spring through to autumn Easy to grow in shady areas for years of enjoyment Perfect to plant in patio pots or borders Rich intensely coloured feathery foliage Planting time: September to November Flowering time: April to May Specifications Colour: Purple Model Number: 56404 Acer palmatum Atropurpureum are small, slow-growing deciduous trees that are known for their iconic deep purple-red foliage and architecture. They are compact and extremely slow-growing, making them easy to maintain and suitable for growing in small gardens and containers. The compact rounded habit of this variety allows a canopy of colour to form. The foliage undergoes a transformation from spring to summer and into autumn, starting out purple-red with purple flowers and changing to a fiery shade of crimson in autumn. It then sheds its leaves in the winter months, only for it to come back with a vengeance in spring, bursting with colour. This variety is great for growing as stand-alone specimen plants; however, they can also be used to form Japanese-themed borders or for planting under larger trees where sunlight may not always be able to reach them. Grow in any moist, fertile, well-drained soil in sun or dappled shade, with shelter from strong winds that can scorch the finely cut leaves. Alternatively, plant in large containers or pots using a soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Water regularly throughout the growing season until well established and protect plants from strong winds. Acers require little pruning other than to maintain their shape. Lightly trim stems if necessary from late autumn to midwinter. Position: sun, semi-shade, dappled shade. Height: up to 4 metres Spread: up to 4 metres. Supplied in a 7cm nursery pot. Delivered with growing and care instructions. Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary results.
