Thompson and Morgan Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum Plant Pot 7cm 3 Pack

The Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum is a truly spectacular Japanese maple, renowned for its electrifying colour and classic form. This dramatic, open-habit plant boasts flaming burgundy purple-red leaves that shimmer under the summer sun, transforming your garden into an autumnal spectacle. A low-maintenance and hardy tree, it thrives in patio pots and woodland gardens, making it a must-have for any garden.To nurture your Acer, pot up plants and grow them in cool, frost-free environments until they are ready for their final outdoor positions. Acclimatise well-grown plants gradually to outdoor conditions before transplanting them into borders. Grow Acer trees in any moist, fertile, well-drained soil, in a sunny or partially shaded location, shielded from strong winds to prevent leaf scorch. Alternatively, cultivate them in large containers using a soil-based compost such as John Innes No.3. Water regularly throughout the growing season until the trees are well established and protect them from strong winds. Acers require minimal pruning to maintain their shape; lightly trim stems from late autumn to midwinter if necessary.Product Specifications: Position: Sun or semi-shade. Height: Up to 400cm.
