'Brown Sugar' is a spectacular hardy Japanese Maple with leaves that change colour with the seasons. Young spring foliage emerges fresh and green before changing to a lovely, warm bronzy chocolate colour, then as autumn arrives the leaves transform to fiery red before falling. The stems are as colourful as the leaves too, turning bright red during summer and winter, setting off the foliage beautifully. Compact and slow-growing 'Brown Sugar' is an ideal specimen plant grown in a large pot, and a real eye-catcher on a patio or balcony. Preferring sun or light shade and slightly acidic soil, it's very easy to grow and almost maintenance free, a wonderful addition to your garden, bring almost year-round interest. Supplied as an established plant in a 19cm pot, reaching 2m (6½ft) in height and a spread of 1.5m (5ft).
