Acer palmatum 'Red Dragon' is a captivating laceleaf Japanese Maple known for its finely dissected, feathery leaves and vibrant color throughout the seasons. Belonging to the dissectum group, this tree showcases deeply lobed leaves that emerge in a bright cherry-red on purple petioles in spring, deepen to a rich burgundy in the summer, and blaze into a brilliant scarlet in the fall. Adding to its charm, 'Red Dragon' produces red flowers that develop into winged samaras early in the season, enhancing its ornamental appeal. This slow-growing tree reaches a height of 3 to 5 feet and a width of 6 to 8 feet over 10 years. Its graceful, weeping form and bright-colored foliage make it a stunning focal point in any garden, especially when contrasted against dark evergreens, nestled in a perennial bed, or near a water feature. Due to its compact size, 'Red Dragon' is also well-suited for container planting on porches or patios, or as a striking bonsai. Unlike many other dwarf red Japanese maples, 'Red Dragon' is more tolerant of direct afternoon sun, making it versatile in placement from full sun to light shade. It thrives in moist, well-draining, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter. Regular watering is essential during its first one or two seasons to help it establish, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and keep the roots cool, which is especially important for container-grown specimens. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of elegance to your garden, create a striking container display, or cultivate a beautiful bonsai, Acer palmatum 'Red Dragon' offers unmatched beauty and seasonal interest. Bring home this stunning Japanese Maple today and watch as it transforms your garden with its graceful form and vibrant color.
