Multi-pack of 'magnificent' Japanese maples that brighten up gardens plummets to half price
Spruce up your garden with an exotic and colourful collection of plants, without breaking the bank, as this four-piece Japanese maple collection plummets to half its usual price Green-thumbed shoppers can currently save a massive £40 on this four-piece collection of Japanese Maples, which are set to add a vibrant display of colour, whether planted in gardens, as part of a border, or in an ornate pot on the patio. Stocked with four fantastic varieties of these highly sought Japanese Maples, each plant arrives in approximately 2-3 Litre containers. They've already grown to a lovely bushy plant up to 60cm tall, depending on variety and time of year. And they're ready to be planted as soon as they arrive, meaning you don't have to wait or spend hours preparing your plant before getting to enjoy its exotic array of colour. Up for grabs with 50% off at Gardening Express, this collection has been specially selected to give a variety of foliage, colours, shapes, and textures. Which plants you get in this lucky-dip bundle will be selected from the wide range of varieties grown in Gardening Express' nursery. The set may include the Acer palmatum Beni Kawa, which is touted as a magnificent variety of coral bark maple. This cultivar is popular due to its flaming, coral-red bark and its blend of soft green-gold leaves, which are a sharp contrast to the brilliant bark. In winter, the shining stems stand out against snow-covered lawns or dead plants. Elsewhere in the collection could be the Acer palmatum dissectum Firecracker, which is described as a Firecracker by name and nature. This spectacular, recently introduced variety is highly sought after, thanks to its key attraction being its finely cut deep purple foliage carried on crimson-coloured stems. This foliage turns a fabulous fiery red in autumn. This dense-growing, mound-forming variety has an upright but spreading habit, making it ideal for planting near ponds and other garden features. Another plant included in this bundle is the Acer palmatum Orange Dream, aJapanese maple cultivar rare to the nursery trade and of unique form and colour. Featuring a narrowly upright growth habit and slow rate, 'Orange Dream' is a large shrub that produces striking orange-yellow foliage over bright green bark, resulting in a truly different look. This beautiful Japanese maple is set to enhance any garden and looks wonderful in a pot or tub on the patio or balcony. A fourth specimen could be included in this Acer palmatum Shin-Deshojo, a variety boasting stunning red foliage. It is one of Gardening Express' customers' favourites and probably the best-value Japanese acers. The Acer 'Shin-Deshojo' has spring colour like no other, as it turns from a burning scarlet to fire red. This is combined with a semi-dwarf growth habit, which means the tree lends itself well to growing in a large tub or patio planter, all adding to the high demand for this easy-to-grow variety. The new growth throughout the summer retains the bright colouration, and it takes on all the fiery shades of autumn like other Acers, too. Normally retailing for £79.95, this four-piece collection is up for grabs from Gardening Express for £39.95 while this sale lasts. If you don't mind only grabbing three varieties instead of four, you can find this 3 x Acer Mix Assorted Japanese Maple Trees at B&Q or from Gardener's Dream for £23.99. Or head over to You Garden to find this Japanese Maple Acer Collection at £29.97.
