Description
Acer palmatum ‘Firecracker’ is a dazzling laceleaf maple known for its finely dissected, feathery foliage that emerges vibrant red in spring, deepens to burgundy through summer, and finishes with brilliant crimson in autumn. With its compact, mounding form and cascading habit, it brings bold texture and colour to borders, rock gardens or containers.
Typically reaching 1.5-2m in height and spread, this slow-growing cultivar thrives in partial shade with moist, well-drained soil and protection from harsh winds.
