- Stunning pink and variegated maple leaves
- Fast-growing, ideal for small gardens
- Thrives in sun or dappled shade
Acer negundo 'Flamingo' is a captivating maple, celebrated for its rapid growth and striking foliage. This variety bursts into life in spring, unfurling leaves with a delightful pink blush that gradually matures into a lush green, beautifully variegated with white or pale pink. Whether allowed to flourish as a tree or pruned into a substantial shrub, 'Flamingo' makes a stunning focal point in any garden setting.
Its naturally compact size, relative to other maples, makes it ideally suited for smaller gardens. Acer negundo 'Flamingo' is a versatile choice, reaching a maximum height of 12 metres (39 feet) and spreading to 8 metres (26 feet), perfect as a standalone specimen or incorporated into mixed borders.
For optimal growth, plant in moist, fertile, well-drained soil, in a sunny or partially shaded location. Regular watering during the growing season encourages a robust root system. Shield from strong winds, and prune minimally, if needed, from late autumn to midwinter to maintain its graceful form.
Growing Information: Light: Prefers sun or dappled shade. Temperature: Hardy to USDA Zone 3. Watering: Water regularly, particularly during drier periods. Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser each spring. Humidity: Moderate; protect from strong winds.
