Maple 'Crimson King'
FamilySapindaceae
Acer platanoides ‘Crimson King’ is a highly decorative ornamental maple particularly renowned for its deep purple foliage throughout the season, which provides an intense visual presence in beds, avenues, or large gardens, beautifully contrasting with surrounding green foliage. Its rounded and dense silhouette offers an elegant and stable structure for residential or urban landscaping. Very hardy and adaptable to a wide variety of well-drained soils, this maple prefers sunny to partial shade exposure, which allows it to fully develop the richness of its dark hues and the intensity of its forms.
