“Emerald Lace” is an impressive, small, Japanese maple featuring a rich display of interestingly coloured, weeping foliage. The finely cut leaves emerge lime green in spring, remain this colour until summer, then turn impressive shades of dark red in autumn before falling. It typically grows to 2.5 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, moderately sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost and cool climates and will grow on a range of soil types but will struggle at the extremes of wet and dry. “Emerald Lace” makes for a lovely specimen and is ideal for including in a mixed planting, maintaining in a container, planting around outdoor living areas, or using anywhere the spectacular colour can be enjoyed.
