This lovely, green, dissected leafed Japanese Maple tree makes for a colourful splash in the garden. The lacy foliage is a bright, lime green throughout the spring and mid green in the summer, sometimes with a red tinge, before turning gold and red in the autumn. Acer palmatum dissectum 'Seiryu' is an unusual variety, as it is the only green dissected Japanese Maple tree with an upright growth habit, rather than the usual domed or weeping forms. Acer Seiryu has a striking vase shape which broadens slightly to a rounder form with age, eventually reaching a height and spread of 4 x 4 metres in 20 years. This dissected Acer tree is best positioned in a moist, well-drained soil in slight shade although it is tolerant of full sun. Acer palmatum 'Seiryu' makes a fantastic large shrub or small garden tree that offers an attractive, light canopy throughout the spring, summer and autumn. Pot size: 3L -

A small deciduous tree that has been in cultivation in Japan for a very long time. The fresh, delicate looking foliage is almost transparent in the sunlight and the overall shape of Japanese Maples make them an excellent choice as a specimen tree in a sheltered spot. Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum is the dark purple-leaved form of the common Japanese maple with exceptionally great Autumn colour. Growing notes: Acer palmatum and its cultivars are slow growing and do not really require pruning, but will tolerate it if necessary - remove damaged, diseased or crossing branches - it is best done during the dormant months. Lower branches can be taken off to shape the canopy over time. Japanese maples all require shelter from wind to avoid wind scorch. The very fine leaved cultivars need extra protection from wind and the sun. Despite being hardy, the fresh growth can be vulnerable to frost in the Spring. They all tolerate growing in a large container, some for a very long time.- Cultivars with green or yellow foliage are best grown in dappled shade as full sun can scorch the leaves.
- Cultivars with purple or red foliage require some sun to fully develop their dark colour.
- Cultivars with variegated foliage require shade from the afternoon sun to prevent scorching.

Reaching up to around a metre tall and wide, the attractive foliage is variegated in creamy white or even light yellow. The show stopping flowers are the real star and what makes this plant unique, being the first ever variegated Pieris variety to carry the masses of lily-of-the-valley-like flowers in deep red-purple. The plant is attractive in bud as they form over several weeks, to burst out in all their glory in Spring, lasting for several weeks. Later on, new shoots on the plant are produced in vivid shades of burgundy-scarlet-red, making for season long interest, and a real winner of an evergreen plant for the patio or garden. The blooms even carry a light fragrance. This Pieris is perfect for a mixed border among dwarf conifers, combined with other shrubs and evergreen, or it will simply also look great in a large pot on a patio. -
