Acer
palmatum 'Red Filigree Lace' With one of the most dissected leaves you will ever see on a Japanese maple 'Red Filigree Lace' has been a highly sought after collectors’ plant for many years. Originally propagated from a chance seedling by Will Curtis in Sherwood, Oregon, this plant will become an eye-catching topic of conversation in any garden. 'Red Filigree Lace' probably holds its red color in summer in the Southeastern U.S. better than any red cultivar of Japanese maple I have ever grown. It does however require some shade. Amazingly it will hold its color even in rather heavy shade. I have seen very big specimens of this cultivar in Oregon but in our hot climate it is very slow growing and is susceptible to over watering. In very early spring the delicate looking foliage is decidedly red becoming darker purple in summer before turning crimson in fall. Do not let the intricate finely cut lacy leaf fool you, as long as you provide a well-drained environment Red Filigree Lace is a very sturdy and hardy plant that any gardener should feel lucky to have. Height: 3-5Feet Width: 4-6 Feet
