Acer palmatum Orange Dream - A bright play of colours for your garden
The Acer palmatum Orange Dream, also known as the Orange Dream fan maple, is an exceptionally beautiful ornamental plant that will enhance any garden with its radiant colours and elegant growth habit. Its impressive colour change over the course of the seasons is particularly remarkable. In spring, it sprouts bright orange-yellow leaves, which turn a soft yellow-green in summer before changing to warm gold and orange tones in autumn. This constant change makes the Orange Dream a real eye-catcher that delights all year round.
Bright leaves with a fascinating colour gradient
The filigree leaves of the Acer palmatum Orange Dream are palmately lobed and particularly delicate. In spring, they are a bright orange colour with golden yellow accents, which gradually turns into a fresh green with a yellowish undertone. Finally, autumn brings a veritable explosion of colour when the leaves glow in intense orange and gold tones. This extraordinary colour palette sets the Orange Dream apart from other maple varieties and makes it an ideal choice for gardens that want to create colourful highlights.
Compact growth for versatile design options
With a height of around 1.5 to 2 metres and a bushy, upright growth habit, the Acer palmatum Orange Dream is perfect for a variety of garden designs. Whether as a solitary plant, in combination with other woody plants or as part of a Japanese garden - this fan maple brings structure and colour to any setting. Thanks to its compact growth, it is also ideal for smaller gardens or for planting in large containers on terraces and balconies.
Optimum site and soil conditions
For healthy growth, the Acer palmatum Orange Dream prefers a semi-shady to sunny location. Direct midday sun should be avoided, as the delicate leaves can react sensitively to strong sunlight. A well-drained, humus-rich and slightly moist soil offers the best conditions for magnificent colours and healthy growth. Waterlogging should be avoided to prevent root damage. Regular, but not excessive, watering ensures that the plant can develop its vibrant colours to optimum effect.
Hardy and easy to care for
Despite its delicate appearance, the Acer palmatum Orange Dream is a robust plant that is hardy to around -20 °C. In particularly cold regions, however, it may be advisable to protect the root area with a layer of mulch. Pruning is not usually necessary, but can be done in late winter or early spring to remove dead or unwanted branches. Overall, the Orange Dream is an easy-care plant that retains its impressive beauty with little effort.
A highlight for any garden
The Acer palmatum Orange Dream is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to add a special, colourful touch to their garden. Its intense colours, elegant growth habit and versatility in garden design make it one of the most beautiful fan maple varieties. Whether as a solitary plant, in a group or as part of an Asian-inspired garden, this maple brings life and vigour to any setting.
