Acer palmatum dissectum 'Ever Red' is a stunning Japanese Maple prized for its finely dissected, lace-like foliage that maintains a deep burgundy-red hue throughout the growing season. This compact, weeping cultivar adds elegance to gardens, making it especially suitable for small landscapes or as a focal point in containers. In autumn, the foliage transitions to shades of fiery red, enhancing seasonal appeal.
