Notes
'Winter Flame' Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Winter Flame') is a tree for specimen, accent, container, and woodland use. 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, so give it room to spread. Bees and birds visit it. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Lenten rose, Spring snowflake, and Midwinter Fire common dogwood.
