RED JAPANESE MAPLE - 10 seeds - Acer palmatum atropurpureum - BONSAI SEEDS

An elegant small tree, with deeply lobed dark red leaves that turn fiery red in autumn and tiny purple flowers in spring. This neat, slow-growing acer has an open habit, and looks dramatic silhouetted next to buildings, as a focal point in a small courtyard, or in a Japanese-style garden. It needs a sheltered spot, away from strong winds or all-day sunshine. It also looks good in a container. The leaves may be greener if they do not receive sufficient light.
