Acer p. 'Adrian's Compact' B&B 24-30" sprd

Acer palmatum 'Adrian's Compact'

A charming dwarf Japanese maple with personality to spare. This slow-growing beauty forms a dense, upright mound rather than the typical weeping habit of most dwarf maples—giving it a small tree-like structure that's unique. The small, lobed leaves emerge a dazzling bright red in spring, then deepen to a rich burgundy throughout summer, with new growth flashing bright red against the darker mature foliage. Come fall, the entire plant ignites in fiery scarlet and orange tones.. Thrives in sun to part shade (though benefits from afternoon shade in hot climates) and prefers rich, well-drained, soil with regular moisture. Hardy to -20°F. Perfect for containers, Asian-inspired gardens, small courtyards, or as a jewel-like accent in mixed borders.
