This is a gracefully cascading Japanese Maple with a weeping habit, prized for its striking red-purple dissected leaves which maintain their vibrant color throughout the growing season. It exhibits remarkable hardiness, thriving in USDA zones 5-8, and prefers temperatures between 0 to 30°F. In the fall, the foliage transitions to a rich crimson hue, providing a stunning display. The plant prefers well-drained, acidic to neutral soils and exhibits moderate deer resistance, making it a fine choice for gardens where deer are a concern. It matures to a height of 6 to 8 feet, forming an elegant mound shape. Although not producing notable fruit, its exquisite foliage and form make it a standout in any landscape setting.
