About this plant
Acer palmatum 'Pixie' is a compact, slow-growing Japanese Maple perfect for small gardens or container planting. Its deeply lobed leaves emerge a vibrant red in spring, gradually maturing to a deep burgundy through summer. In autumn, the foliage transforms into striking shades of red and orange, offering a stunning seasonal display. A favorite for its manageable size and graceful appearance, 'Pixie' is both versatile and low-maintenance, thriving in partial shade to full sun. Its elegant upright growth makes it an excellent choice for focal points or ornamental planting.
