Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A dwarf lace leaf maple with delicate looking leaves that grows in a spreading, mounding form. Dissected leaves are pinkish-red in spring. Slightly variegated with pink tones on green leaves during the summer. Fall color is orange red. Prefers sun/partial shade in well-drained soil. This maple is estimated to grow to 3′ tall x 4′ wide in 10 years. Once established Pink Filigree is hardy to -20 degrees – USDA zone 5. Pink Filigree like other Japanese maples benefits from some pruning to shape the tree, as well as removing any dead branches. This maple is not a true weeping maple as other more common lace leaf maples are – such as Crimson Queen or Red Dragon. For these cultivars the weight of the leaves on the new soft branches cause them to hang downward or weep. Pink Filigree is a dense, dwarf laceleaf with branches that grow out rather than hang down. Excellent choice to compliment a water feature.
