Product Description

Acer palmatum ‘Extravaganza’ is a truly distinctive deciduous shrub known for its finely cut leaves and remarkable colour variation. In spring, the foliage emerges in a brilliant bright pink, creating an immediate focal point in the garden. As the season progresses, the leaves develop into a unique blend of red, green and creamy hues, giving the plant a delicate, almost hand-painted appearance.

This compact Japanese maple is perfect for smaller gardens, courtyards or container planting on patios and terraces. Its graceful shape and finely textured foliage bring a sense of calm and refinement, making it a popular choice for both modern and traditional garden designs.
