Acer palmatum 'Mila'

Mila Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Mila')
Get ready for a vibrant splash in a small package with 'Mila'! This delightful dwarf maple really puts on a show in spring, unfurling its finely cut, feathery leaves in an electrifying shade of bright pinkish-red or coral. As summer unfolds, the delicate foliage shifts to a lovely green or bronze, often keeping hints of red, before igniting in fiery oranges and reds for a beautiful fall finale. 'Mila' keeps a low, bushy profile, making it perfect for containers, rock gardens, or anywhere you need intense color without much height.
