Notes
Amur maple (Acer tataricum) is a shrub for pollinator gardens and low maintenance landscapes. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Its yellowish-white flowers are fragrant and attract bees. It grows slowly into a dense shape and shows fall color. Once settled, it is also drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum, Maltese cross, and Little Beauty tulip.
