Acer palmatum ‘Crimson Queen’ is a dwarf, weeping laceleaf Japanese maple introduced in 1965. It forms a delicate, low-branching mound of finely dissected burgundy-red leaves that persist through summer and erupt into bright scarlet in autumn. Typically reaching 5–6 ft tall with a 6–7 ft spread, it’s prized for its season-long color and graceful habit.
Key Features
Habit & Size: Dwarf weeping form; 5–6 ft tall × 6–7 ft wide; creates a cascading mound ideal for tight spaces.
Foliage: Finely cut, 7–9 lobed leaves emerge deep burgundy-red in spring, hold vibrant crimson through summer, and turn bright scarlet in fall.
Hardiness & Light: USDA Zones 5a–8b; best in partial shade to filtered sun (tolerant of full sun in cooler regions).
Soil & Water: Prefers organically rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soil; keep evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Maintenance & Growth Rate: Slow to moderate (adds about 2–3 inches/year); low-maintenance with minimal pruning needed to maintain its form.
Uses & Value: Ideal as a container specimen, focal accent, or border plant; exceptional for small gardens, patios, and bonsai.
All plants come with a regular black nursery pot
