{"product_id":"crimson-queen-japanese-maple","title":"Crimson Queen Japanese Maple","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeep red, finely cut laceleaf foliage that holds its color all season — the Crimson Queen is a living sculpture that gets more beautiful every year.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrimson Queen (Acer palmatum dissectum 'Crimson Queen') is one of the finest laceleaf Japanese maples ever selected. Its finely dissected, feathery leaves emerge deep red in spring and hold that rich tone through summer — no fading to green like many other red maples. In fall the show intensifies with glowing scarlet hues that light up the landscape. The classic, low, cascading mushroom shape with gently arching branches becomes more sculptural and dramatic with every passing year. It's surprisingly sun-tolerant for a dissectum, handling full sun with minimal leaf scorch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat I love about it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrimson Queen is the Japanese maple that delivers on every promise. The color is genuinely deep and rich — a true burgundy-red that holds through the heat of summer when other red maples have faded to green. The finely cut laceleaf texture is extraordinarily delicate and beautiful, catching light and moving gracefully in a breeze. The cascading form is naturally sculptural — it looks like it was designed by an artist. Plant it as a specimen in a bed, near a patio, or in a large container where its form can be appreciated up close. It only gets better with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant Care Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade — more sun-tolerant than most laceleaf maples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💧 \u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water deeply until established; moderate water needs once mature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌡️ \u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy to -20°F (Zone 5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🪴 \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy — low-maintenance once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐾 \u003cstrong\u003ePet Safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-toxic to cats and dogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✂️ \u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal needed; light shaping in late winter if desired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 ft tall, 10–12 ft wide (wider than tall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow to moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep red laceleaf; holds color through summer; scarlet fall color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, cascading mushroom shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBloom bold.
