21 years online - still growing strong
Our acer garden plants include a stunning range of Japanese maples and specimen trees, prized for their elegant shape and vibrant seasonal colour. Known for their delicate foliage and striking autumn displays, acers are perfect for adding structure and interest to borders, patios, and container planting. From compact varieties ideal for smaller gardens to larger statement trees, these versatile plants offer year-round appeal and are a favourite choice for gardeners seeking colour and form.
Acers, also known as maple trees, are one of the most popular and recognisable ornamental trees. Japanese maples in particular are valued for their graceful, architectural growth habit and finely cut foliage, which creates a soft, layered look within planting schemes. Throughout the seasons, their leaves can range from fresh green and deep red to rich shades of orange and gold in autumn.
These versatile plants are ideal for a wide range of garden settings. Compact varieties are perfect for smaller gardens, patios and container growing, while larger maples can be used as striking specimen trees alongside other ornamental trees in more spacious gardens and landscaping projects.
Acers work particularly well in borders and mixed planting schemes, where their shape and colour provide contrast alongside garden shrubs and other foliage plants. If you are creating a new planting area from scratch, our ready made border collections provide another simple way to introduce complementary colour, height and structure.
With the right positioning and care, acers are reliable, long-lived plants that can enhance the garden year after year.
