Acer Palmatum Hana Matoi - 25cm Pot

Acer palmatum ‘Hana Matoi’ is a stunning Japanese Maple known for its finely dissected foliage and ever-changing variegated colour. This compact, mounding shrub features gently weeping branches, creating a soft, layered form that adds elegance and movement to the garden.

In spring, the delicate leaves emerge a rich purple, beautifully streaked with cream and pink variegation, creating a truly eye-catching display. As the season progresses, the foliage may soften to green tones while retaining its variegation, before finishing with a brilliant bright red autumn display.

Its refined shape and intricate foliage make Hana Matoi ideal for feature planting, courtyards, containers and ornamental garden beds, where it can be appreciated up close.

Mature size: approximately 1.5–2.5 metres high × 1.5–2.5 metres wide
(slow growing, reaching size over 10–20 years)

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained, enriched soil. In warmer climates, protection from hot afternoon sun will help preserve leaf colour and prevent scorch.
