A unique, very slow-growing Japanese maple, this dwarf green cultivar has very narrow, string-like leaves, not much wider than leaf veins. More sturdy than its deceptively delicate look would suggest, 'Fairy Hair' is a selection that will be less than 3 feet tall in 10 years.
|
The distinctive, purple-green leaves of this small Japanese maple display pink and cream leaf margins and twisted lobes. A sport from 'Geisha,' it has shown improved hardiness and stability over its smaller, more tender parent. Purple-black, pink and crimson foliage complete the show in fall.

This slow-growing, bushy form of Japanese maple boasts remarkable coloring. Soft pink to white spring leaves are flecked delicately with green dots. As the season progresses, the white parts turn pale yellow-green and the veins turn green, but the pink tone persists. Fall features orange, pink and crimson foliage. Extremely tender: provide semi-shade and protection. Ideal for a container.
|
The color and delicate, pendulous foliage of this green laceleaf Japanese maple account for the name 'Green Mist.' The vigorous selection forms a cascading mound, and the deeply dissected leaves go orange-red in fall. Dissectum.

The name of this upright, bushy Japanese maple means "beautiful color," an apt reference to the look of the small green leaves accented with pink and white variegation along their edges. Leaves become more green with white edging as they age, and have yellow and orange fall colors.

Spectacular leaf coloration distinguishes this upright, but broad, form of Japanese maple. Very deeply divided, narrow leaf lobes display reliable light yellow-green and purple-red variegation, producing a striking effect. In fall, leaves turn orange to red.
|
A truly unique dwarf Japanese maple, this cultivar produces layers of small leaves that overlap each other because of close leaf spacing and short petioles. The effect is striking: a very dense, compact plant with a diverse range of leaf size and color. New growth seems to include the whole color spectrum between yellow and green, with older growth turning dark glossy green. In fall, a different color range takes over, spanning the range between yellow and scarlet. Excellent for small landscapes.

Tiny leaves are peach-colored in spring and lemon in summer. Brilliant crimson fall color. Winter twigs have red highlights.
|
Extremely finely-cut foliage sets this purple-red laceleaf Japanese maple apart from others. Bright burgundy spring foliage darkens to maroon for summer and then goes vivid red in fall. Although the lacy leaves have a very delicate look, the tree is surprisingly hardy; leaves can burn in full sun or drought, though. 'Red Filigree' grows more slowly than other red laceleafs, but eventually attains a similar size and habit. Dissectum.

This dwarf upright Japanese maple is highly prized for its incredibly cute, star-shaped foliage. Bright red in spring, the leaves turn green during summer. Then, a second flush of new bright red growth creates a striking contrast against the mature green foliage. Sold by some nurseries as 'Beni hoshi,' which means "red star," we prefer using the English translation.
|
Gorgeous dwarf holds red color best throughout season. Leaf colors are similar to 'Bloodgood' but everything is miniaturized. Spring leaves are bright purple-red and darken to rich purple-red. Small leaves are compressed on the stems. Not recommended for zone 5a, might be okay in 5b.

Perfect for bonsai and growing in containers. Small green leaves and dwarf rounded canopy make this tree look great even without trimming or training. Fall colors are orange to red.
|
The leaves of this Japanese maple are unique in both cut and color. Unlike other laceleafs, 'Sunset' has leaves that are dissected only once. This distinctive quality produces a saw-tooth look rather than the more familiar doubly dissected look. Leaf color, especially in full sun, is unique too, with a rusty or orange tint to the mature leaves. Yellow spring leaves display significant red highlights, and fall color is bright orange. Dissectum.

The slender, multi-branched Full Moon maple has a delicate look, but resists sunburn better than most maple species. In summer, the almost translucent green leaves combined with heavy yellow and red seeds make an attractive show. In fall, brilliant yellow, orange and red mark the season. A great tree for shrub or mixed plantings.
|
The foliage of this prized Full Moon maple virtually glows throughout the season. Especially in a site with filted light, the fan-shaped leaves emerge bright yellow in spring, then gradually soften to yellow-green, a color that holds all summer. In fall, bright yellow, orange and scarlet, might all appear on a single leaf. Colors are more subdued in a shady spot. Attractive branching is striking in winter.

Vigorous, versatile and unbelievably easy to grow, this small, dramatic Full Moon maple boasts orange-red highlights on yellow leaves. The unusual coloring, strongest in full sun, lasts from when leaves emerge in spring until they go rich orange-red in fall. In shade, leaves start out with orange-red highlights, and settle on yellow in early summer.
|
The foliage of this low, slow-growing Full Moon maple looks fantastic throughout the season. Bright pink-red spring leaves become orange-red with green highlights in early summer and bright red and orange in fall. Chartreuse leaf bases and light petioles add to the appeal. In Japanese, the name 'Kawaii' means "cute," not to be confused with the Hawaiin island Kauai. Dissectum.
