Notes
'Crimson Queen' Japanese maple (Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Crimson Queen') is a tree for specimen, accent, and woodland uses. 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows slowly into a broad shape, turns color in fall, and bears red spring flowers that attract bees and birds.
Pairs well with Incrediball hydrangea, Ornamental onion, and Garden phlox.
