About this plant
Acer palmatum 'Bonfire' is a stunning dwarf Japanese maple valued for its compact size and deeply divided, lacy leaves that emerge fiery scarlet-red in spring. The vibrant foliage transitions through shades of orange to green as the season progresses, delivering dynamic color throughout the year. During autumn, its leaves blaze in hues of bright orange and crimson, making it a standout choice for small gardens or container planting. 'Bonfire' has a graceful, mounding habit and thrives in partial shade, bringing an elegant touch to any landscape.
