Description

If you want one plant that instantly brings structure, colour and a sense of calm to a garden, Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’ is a classic choice. This beautiful Japanese maple is loved for its finely cut foliage and rich, deep burgundy-red leaves that hold their colour well through the season, before finishing with glowing autumn tones.
It’s perfect for adding a focal point to a border, creating a moment of elegance in a courtyard garden, or styling up a large pot by the front door. With a naturally graceful shape, ‘Bloodgood’ looks stunning on its own, but also works beautifully with softer greens, silvers and woodland-style planting.

Caragh Garden Notebook

Japanese maples prefer a little shelter. Choose a spot out of harsh winds, keep the soil evenly moist (especially in the first year and in pots), and mulch to protect roots and conserve moisture.
