Notes
'Dissectum Atropurpureum' Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Dissectum Atropurpureum') is a shrub for specimen planting, containers, accents, and woodland gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows slowly into a broad shape and tolerates drought. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It shows fall color and attracts bees and birds.
Pairs well with Wood forget-me-not, Lamb’s ear, and Japanese forest grass.
