Acer palmatum 'Hogyoku'

Overview

Hogyoku Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Hogyoku') is an amazing plant species noted for its striking beauty. Its delicate foliage emerges with a golden hue and develops into a vibrant, deep scarlet during the cooler months. Bright red flowers bloom in spring and bring in stunning hues all season long. The foliage turns to yellow, orange, and pink in the fall. Outstanding bark color is a nice addition to the landscape - from cinnamon-red to orange and yellow. The beauty of tiger-striped bark truly stands out in the winter. Hogyoku is easy to grow and low-maintenance. It also does extremely well in containers and makes a stunning accent for any garden.
