Red Dragon Japanese Maple is a laceleaf variety prized for its brilliant red-purple leaves and graceful, mounded shape. Growing just 6–10 feet tall and wide, it forms a cascading silhouette that adds elegance to small spaces, entryways, or shaded garden beds. Its finely dissected foliage emerges bright crimson in spring, deepens to burgundy in summer, and finishes with fiery scarlet in fall. The slow-growing habit and compact size make it perfect for containers or as a standout accent in a landscape. It's a low-maintenance tree with high visual impact throughout the seasons.
