This highly ornamental, densely-branched deciduous shrub has deeply-divided golden orange leaves. ‘Orange Lace’ is best sited in a slightly sheltered, partially shaded position, protected from cool winds and harsh sunshine. This elegant Japanese maple has a compact, upright habit and beautiful bright green stems and also makes an excellent potted specimen.
Garden care: Add a top-dressing of a multi-purpose fertiliser around the base of a newly planted shrub in late spring and keep well watered. No routine pruning is required, just remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when they are fully dormant.
