Description
A spectacular Acer palmatum and year round color factory in the landscape, the ‘Radiant’ Japanese Maple boasts variegated leaves like no other in shades of pink, rose, salmon, white, and green throughout the spring and summer. The pink variegation may fade to a cream by summer, but the new growth provides more pink variegation giving a cosmos of colors across the tree. Then, in fall, all the foliage turns to a glorious bright red. What’s more, in winter the bark of Radiant turns to light yellow-green with pink swirling. A truly spectacular specimen!
Landscape & Garden Uses
To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Radiant Variegated Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, you can plant them in groupings of three or plant one on both sides of an entryway to accentuate the entrance.
Suggested Spacing: At least 16 feet apart for space between trees
Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link below under Helpful Articles for Japanese Maple container planting instructions.
Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when selecting companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Japanese Maple variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
