Japanese Maple 'Dissectum Atropurpureum', Laceleaf Japanese Maple 'Atropurpureum', Cutleaf Japanese Maple 'Atropurpureum', Threadleaf Japanese Maple 'Atropurpureum', Acer palmatum var. dissectum Dissectum Atropurpureum Group
Noted for its reliability and distinctive foliage color, Acer palmatum ‘Dissectum Atropurpureum’ is a slow-growing deciduous shrub with an elegant, broad arching habit and nicely contorted branches. In spring, this Laceleaf Japanese Maple produces small reddish flowers which give way to seeds. While attractive close-up, the flowers are not particularly showy from a distance. The delicate foliage of ferny, lace-like leaves with very long, thin lobes, each further dissected into sub-lobes, is deep purple in spring and stands out beautifully in the landscape. The leaves change to bronze-green in late summer before turning fiery orange-red in fall. Hardy, this Japanese Maple provides a great color contrast in the landscape and is suitable as a focal point or as the perfect foil for a mass of green in the landscape.
