| Description | A vigorous but sightly smaller variety of the native species with an open and airy branching structure. Large, lace-like deep green leaves are often tinged bronze. Bold yellow fall color. A stunning specimen for a woodland garden, in dappled to deep shade. Deciduous. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Early spring |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Deciduous |
| Special Features | Attractive Bark, Easy Care, Fall Color |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Slow |
| Landscape Use | Privacy Screen |
| Design Ideas | This stellar selection of native vine maple is ideally situated where dappled sunlight can stream through its graceful branching structure. Elegant entry-way accent,especially with up-lighting, so that the bright green lacy leaves can create a pattern against the architecture. Pair with an understory of large-leafed shade loving perennials or dwarf shrubs. |
| Flower Color | Red |
| Foliage Fall Color | Yellow |
| Care Instructions | Adaptable to most soil types. Water regularly and deeply during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, give an occasional deep soaking during dry weather. Apply a slow-release fertilizer in spring. Mulch to protect shallow roots. Prune only as needed to remove dead wood. |
| History | Discovered in Oregon by Portland resident Warner Monroe in the headwaters of the McKenzie River in the Cascade Mountains. It was propagated by layering, then brought it into cultivation in 1965. Named by Brian Mulligan, former director of Washington Park Arboretum, Seattle. |
