Product Description :
This stunning Acer is guaranteed to make an impact in your garden for years to come. Fully hardy even in the coldest weather, they lose their leaves in winter, only to burst with incredible colour in spring. The stunning foliage changes colour throughout the year, producing an amazing array of colours in Autumn. Acer 'Atropurpureum' has classic deep burgundy-purple leaves that turn a brilliant shade of bright red in Autumn, just before they fall. 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 heat of the brightest summer sun can scorch the paler coloured leaves occasionally. Specifications Supplied as a 2-year-old potted plant in a 3L pot Well-branched Trimmed back to approx. 60cm tall Availability: February to November Planting time: February to November Top Tips Leaf colour is best in partial shade, although full sun can be tolerated. Leaf scorch can be caused by a lack of soil moisture or excessive exposure.
