Description
Viridis is a beautiful green lace leaf Japanese Maple with a mounding form and graceful cascading branches. The branches are covered with finely dissected leaves that emerge a fluorescent green in spring maturing to light green in summer and then bright shades of orange, red and yellow in fall. At 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, Viridis makes for a stunning focal point specimen in the landscape or potted patio tree.
Landscape & Garden Uses
To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Viridis Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, Japanese Maples are often used to accentuate entryways by planting one on both sides of an entrance, or spaced widely in small clusters of three. An ideal selection for landscape beds or in containers.
Suggested Spacing: 10 feet apart for space between plants

Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Japanese Maple is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
