Maples with northern character

Jack Frost Collection

The Jack Frost Collection brings together small to medium-sized hybrid maples selected as a more resilient alternative to traditional Japanese maples in more demanding climates. Their graphic silhouette, cut foliage and fall colours create a remarkable presence in the garden.

These trees are ideal for front gardens, deep flower beds and landscapes where a standout specimen tree is desired. Their style evokes the elegance of Japanese maples, with a more northern personality and better adaptation to gardens here.

Landscape inspiration

Where should you plant Iseli selections?

Iseli plants are chosen for gardens where structure, contrast and long-lasting visual interest matter. Their distinctive shapes work beautifully in refined landscapes, front yards, rock gardens and carefully composed planting beds.

Designed to become the focal point.

Whether used as a single specimen or repeated through the landscape, Iseli selections help define the mood of a garden with colour, texture and architectural presence.

Iseli plants used in a refined landscape
01

Front gardens and entrances

Place Iseli maples and compact conifers near entrances, walkways and front beds to create a clear visual anchor without overcrowding the space.

02

Rock gardens, slopes and mineral landscapes

Compact mugo pines and blue-toned conifers are excellent choices for spaces where drainage, structure and a natural mineral look are part of the design.

03

Planting beds that need structure

A distinctive maple, a blue spruce or a compact pine can give rhythm to a planting bed, especially when paired with low perennials, grasses or natural stone.

04

Well-drained spaces with room to grow

Most Iseli selections look best when they have enough room to show their natural shape. Avoid crowded areas where their silhouette cannot develop properly.

Tip: for a natural and durable result, combine Iseli plants with stone, mulch, ornamental grasses and low-growing perennials. The goal is to let each plant keep its shape, colour and personality over time.
