Acer shirasawanum 'Moonrise' (Pot Size 3L) Full Moon Japanese Maple sold by Boma Garden Centre

Acer shirasawanum ‘Moonrise’ is a spectacular Full Moon Japanese Maple prized for its glowing seasonal foliage and elegant layered branching. In spring, the rounded palmate leaves emerge in vivid shades of orange, peach and lime green, gradually softening through summer while retaining rich crimson-red margins. As temperatures cool in autumn, the foliage ignites into brilliant tones of scarlet, orange and gold, creating a dramatic focal point.This deciduous ornamental shrub brings exceptional colour and structure to sheltered gardens, contemporary courtyards and woodland-inspired planting schemes. Its softly layered canopy works beautifully alongside ferns, Heuchera, Hakonechloa grasses and evergreen shrubs, where the luminous foliage contrasts against darker greens and textured planting. Particularly effective in premium containers or smaller London gardens, ‘Moonrise’ offers strong architectural interest without becoming overpowering. A refined specimen with a calm, elegant presence throughout the seasons.
