Japanese Maple 'Shaina'
FamilySapindaceae
Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’, also called 'Shaina' Japanese maple, is a dwarf selection with a compact and rounded habit, ideal for small spaces, rockeries, terraces, or pot plantings. Derived from 'Bloodgood', it retains dense, more compact, and more rounded purplish-red foliage, with a naturally structured form. Its foliage emerges bright red in spring, takes on dark burgundy tones in summer, then blazes into scarlet red in autumn, offering a striking contrast in refined landscaping. Very resistant to heat and mild sun, 'Shaina' maintains its color well throughout the season. It prefers fresh, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil, under filtered light or partial shade. It is a safe bet for gardeners looking for a compact, stable, and ornamental purple maple.
