Acer Palmatum Festival 3L Pot
Japanese maples are famed for their graceful habit, autumn tones and beautiful foliage, and this colourful mix of three hardy plants will give you a riot of colour through the year.
Starting in the spring, the leaves emerge in tones of acid green, mid green and red, gradually transitioning through green and red in the summer, and then, just as you thought the colours couldn't get any better, you'll get shades of fiery orange, yellow and red as the autumn progresses.
Grown together in a single decorative pot, our Acer collection consists of three different varieties of Acer palmatum, and makes an absolutely superb feature for your patio or decking. You can also try placing these miniature trees in your flower border where the foliage will contrast magically with colourful perennial flowers.
A favourite in Japanese-style gardens, many acers grow extremely slowly and are perfect in smaller gardens, or grown in containers.
Supplied as three separate varieties of Acer palmatum, grown together in a single pot : 'Atropurpureum', 'Orange Dream' and 'Going Green'.
Picture include 2 as supplied photos, 1 of the plant in Winter/Early spring and 1 in Late/Summer.

Caring for an Acer Palmatum Festival in the UK is similar to caring for this plant in other regions, but there are some specific considerations to keep in mind, particularly in colder or wetter areas. Here are some tips for caring for your Acer Palmatum Festival in the UK:
1. Sunlight: In the UK, Acer Palmatum Festival prefers partial shade, particularly in hotter areas or during the summer months. In cooler areas, it can tolerate more sunlight.
2. Soil: The plant prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. If your soil is heavy or poorly draining, you may need to amend it with compost or other organic matter.
3. Watering: Acer Palmatum Festival requires regular watering, particularly during dry periods. However, in wetter areas, it's important not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize your Acer Palmatum Festival in the spring and fall with a balanced fertilizer or a fertilizer specifically formulated for Japanese Maples.
5. Pruning: Prune your Acer Palmatum Festival in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid pruning in the fall, as this can stimulate new growth that may be damaged by winter weather.
6. Winter protection: In colder areas of the UK, it's important to protect your Acer Palmatum Festival from freezing temperatures by covering it with burlap or a frost blanket. You may also need to move container-grown plants indoors during the winter months.
By following these tips, you can help your Acer Palmatum Festival thrive in the UK's unique climate and enjoy its stunning foliage and vibrant colors for years to come.
