Japanese Maple 'Moonfire'
FamilySapindaceae
Acer palmatum 'Moonfire' is an elegant Japanese maple known for its dark purple foliage with a slightly translucent finish, which catches and reflects the light spectacularly. Unlike other cultivars, it retains its intense color even in full sun, then transforms to a vibrant, bright red in the fall. With its graceful form, moderate growth, and high hardiness, 'Moonfire' is perfect for ornamental gardens, isolated landscapes, or container plantings. A refined choice for a colorful and luminous presence all season long.
