Acer Palmatum 'Mioun'

Mioun Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum ‘Mioun’ is a refined Japanese maple appreciated for its delicate foliage texture and subtle, elegant coloration. New leaves emerge soft green with light bronze or reddish tinges, creating a gentle spring display. Through summer, foliage matures to a clean medium green, maintaining a calm, graceful presence in the garden.

In fall, ‘Mioun’ develops warm yellow, orange, and soft red tones, offering a pleasing but not overpowering autumn show. Leaves are finely lobed, contributing to a light, airy appearance. The habit is upright to rounded, with balanced branching and a natural, flowing form.

‘Mioun’ grows best in partial shade, particularly in warmer climates, and prefers well-drained, evenly moist soil. It is valued for its graceful habit and refined texture, making it well suited to contemplative garden spaces.
