Purple Japanese Maple is the most popularly grown of the Japanese Maples. Leaves are a bronze-crimson throughout the summer before turning brilliant red in the autumn. It makes an elegant large deciduous shrub, often multi-stemmed and is quite slow-growing. Because the shade it casts is quite light, under-planting is usually successful, especially with spring bulbs.
