Description
One of the most beautiful Japanese Maples in existence, the 'Red Filigree Lace' is absolutely breathtaking. The delicate leaves are some of the most finely dissected on any of the dissectums, creating a lovely soft looking fountain of weeping foliage. To be so delicate looking, we've found that it holds its color better in sun or shade than other red leaved cultivars. The leaves emerge a very nice deep red color in spring becoming a darker purple-red in summer. Fall brings a glorious crimson-red color. A slow grower to around 4 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, maybe a little larger over time, Red Filigree Lace is sure to make a statement in the garden or in containers.
Landscape & Garden Uses
To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Red Filigree Lace Japanese Maple is ideal for use in garden beds and containers as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. Two can be used to frame an entryway, though Red Filigree Lace grows quite slowly.
Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link under Helpful Articles below for Japanese Maple container planting instructions.
Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape...that is, if you don't overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcover plants that won't interfere at all with your tree.
Growing Preferences
Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees. They are very easy to grow. Container culture can extend their useful range. They are extremely easy to grow in containers.
In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. That said, there are many sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties, of which Red Filigree Lace is one. In zone 8 and 9 we'd suggest some filtered sun or shade during the midafternoon hours.
Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
