Acer palmatum ‘Atropurpureum’: a timeless favourite for good reason. This Japanese maple features finely cut, deep burgundy foliage that shifts with the seasons rich purple in spring and summer, and blazing red in autumn. Elegant and slow-growing, its ideal for adding structure, colour, and calm to any garden space.
