Acer palmatum ‘Purple Ghost’
Acer palmatum ‘Purple Ghost’, or Japanese maple ‘Purple Ghost’, is an exceptional deciduous shrub or small tree, noted for its finely cut foliage and spectacular, changing hues. In spring, its leaves emerge in a subtle blend of purplish-crimson veined with silvery-pink, creating a unique marbled effect that evolves into deeper tones in summer, then brilliant red shades in autumn. Its elegant, slightly spreading and airy habit makes it an ideal choice for zen gardens, specimen planting, or refined arrangements in sheltered courtyards. Valued for its high ornamental appeal, Acer palmatum ‘Purple Ghost’ prefers locations sheltered from wind and scorching sun. It brings texture, color, and sophistication to small spaces as well as more elaborate gardens.
