About
Acer palmatum dissectum 'Spring Delight' is a weeping laceleaf cultivar with finely dissected foliage tipped in deep purple-red during early spring, gradually transitioning to green through the growing season before turning yellow and orange in fall. It typically reaches 3-5 feet tall with a spread of 5-6 feet over ten years, developing a gracefully arching, cascading form suitable for specimen planting, container cultivation, or accent placement on slopes. According to the growers at Mr Maple, the cultivar is prized for its distinctive purple-edged leaflets in spring, creating an effect like each leaf has been hand-painted with a bright border, and is as durable as the similar weeping cultivar Waterfall. The plant performs well in zones 5-9 with good drainage, tolerating full sun through zone 8, and pairs effectively in mixed plantings where its spring coloring provides contrast to solid-red maples like Red Dragon or Timokiyama.
