Acer palmatum 'Pixie'
Common Name: Pixie Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum ‘Pixie’ is a compact, dwarf Japanese maple valued for its small, finely cut foliage and neat, manageable habit. Spring growth emerges bright red to burgundy, providing strong early color on a petite plant. As summer progresses, foliage matures to deep green with red undertones, especially in partial shade. In fall, ‘Pixie’ develops bright crimson to scarlet-red foliage, offering excellent seasonal color for its size. Leaves are small and delicately lobed, enhancing the plant’s refined texture. The habit is dense, rounded, and slow-growing, making it ideal for tight spaces and detailed garden designs. It performs best in partial shade and prefers well-drained, evenly moist soil.
