Acer Palmatum 'Red Filigree Lace'
Red Filigree Lace Japanese Maple
cer palmatum ‘Red Filigree Lace’ is a classic laceleaf (dissectum) Japanese maple prized for its finely cut, cascading foliage and elegant form. Spring growth emerges deep crimson-red, developing into rich burgundy-red foliage that holds well through summer, especially in partial shade.
The leaves are extremely delicate and threadlike, giving the tree a soft, lacy texture and graceful movement in the landscape. In fall, foliage turns brilliant scarlet to fiery red, providing one of the most dramatic autumn displays among weeping maples. The habit is low, spreading, and gracefully cascading, forming a refined mound over time.
‘Red Filigree Lace’ prefers partial shade, protection from strong wind, and well-drained, evenly moist soil. It is valued for its refined texture, weeping form, and strong seasonal color.
