Acer palmatum ‘Shojo Shidare’ (Shojo Shidare Japanese Maple)

Acer palmatum ‘Shojo Shidare’, commonly known as Shojo Shidare Japanese Maple, is a stunning weeping variety with deeply lobed, cascading foliage. In spring, the leaves emerge in a brilliant crimson-red, maturing to a rich burgundy in summer before transitioning to fiery scarlet in autumn. Its elegant, arching branches create a striking focal point in any garden, courtyard, or container planting.

This compact and slow-growing maple is ideal for small landscapes, rock gardens, and Japanese-style plantings. It thrives in well-drained soil with dappled sunlight, ensuring its delicate leaves remain vibrant throughout the seasons.
