If you love the color red you'll enjoy every part of this impressive acer. This Japanese Maple features bright red spring foliage which darkens through the summer and turns an even more intense scarlet in fall. Not to be left out, the stems are also a distinctive shade of garnet and glow brightly against the blank winter landscape. Does best in full sun or partly shaded areas of the garden and is great for some foliage interest. 'Dragon Tears' is a feast of crimson hues from leaf to stem. This acer is perfect for filling containers and narrower areas of the garden with color in all seasons. It is a must have for your garden if you enjoy bright red foliage brightening up your landscape.
