Deeply dissected purple leaves create a dark lacy appearance that makes ‘Red Dragon’ Japanese Maple dramatic and unique. Said to resemble a dragon’s claws, the long segmented leaves are carried on purple stems emerging red, darkening to burgundy and eventually becoming crimson in the fall. Forming a wide upright mound with pendulous draping branches. Perfect for a large container, small berm or a prominent spot near a walkway or patio.
