A cheerful ornamentation. That describes the Japanese maple 'Little Princess' (Acer palmatum) perfectly! The 'Little Princess' is and will remain a small maple. Suitable as bonsai and for a small garden. In spring, the leaves are brown. In summer, enjoy the lime green colour with a pink edge! The plant is a perennial. This means you can enjoy the bright coloured leaves of the maple again next year! The hardy shrub can be planted all year round.
The shrub does not require pruning. If you want to prune anyway, do it in late summer or early autumn. Plant the Japanese maple in partial shade. The shrub prefers well-drained soil. Give it extra water during dry periods.
