Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ – A Compact Japanese Maple with Vibrant Red Foliage

Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ is a dwarf Japanese Maple with a compact, globular shape that makes it an excellent choice for small gardens, containers, or rockeries. Its rich, crimson-red leaves emerge in spring, turning even deeper as the season progresses, offering a striking visual throughout the year. In autumn, the foliage turns to fiery red, creating a dramatic display of colour. Its slow growth habit and dense branching make it a perfect addition to tight spaces where it will add beauty and structure without overwhelming the area..

Why Grow Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’?

  • Compact, Rounded Shape – Perfect for small gardens, containers, or as an accent plant.
  • Vibrant Red Foliage – Deep red leaves that persist through spring and summer, with fiery autumn colour.
  • Year-Round Interest – A beautiful focal point in the garden, with striking seasonal foliage.
  • Hardy & Easy to Maintain – A low-maintenance variety that thrives with minimal care.

Height of Plant

Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ grows to a height of 2.5/4 meter, forming a dense, globe-like shape.

Where to Site Your Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’

This vibrant Japanese Maple thrives in partial shade but can tolerate full sun in cooler climates, preferring moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is a perfect fit for small gardens, containers, courtyard planting, and bonsai cultivation. It pairs well with ferns, hostas, and dwarf conifers for a harmonious and visually appealing planting scheme.

How to Grow and Care for Your Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’

  • Soil – Prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter.
  • Light – Thrives in partial shade, though it can handle full sun in cooler areas.
  • Watering – Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, especially during dry spells.

Maintenance:

  • Mulching – Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and protect roots during extreme temperatures.
  • Pruning – Minimal pruning required; remove dead or crossing branches in late winter or early spring to maintain shape.
  • Protection from Harsh Sun – Afternoon shade can be beneficial in warmer climates to avoid leaf scorch.
  • Winter Care – Protect from strong winds in exposed locations, especially for younger plants.

Perfect Plant Combinations

Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ pairs beautifully with Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra), dwarf hostas, moss, and spring-flowering bulbs, creating a lush, layered effect. For additional contrast, combine with silver-foliaged plants or green evergreens to highlight its vibrant red foliage.

With its compact form, vibrant red foliage, and year-round appeal, Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ is a perfect choice for gardens with limited space. Whether used as a specimen plant in a container, a feature in a rock garden, or an accent in mixed borders, it will provide elegance, colour, and texture in every season.
