Recently stocked / Check availability
Description
Acer conspicuum 'Red Flamingo' is a small deciduous tree noted for its striking variegated foliage, which displays a mix of green, cream, and pink shades throughout the growing season. It adds year-round interest with its attractive leaf pattern and delicate autumn colour changes. This cultivar typically reaches between 90cm and 150cm in height and spread, making it suitable for smaller gardens or as a feature specimen.
This tree prefers well-drained soil and a position with partial to full sunlight to encourage the best foliage colour. It is hardy and can withstand typical UK conditions, though it will perform best with some protection from harsh winds. Acer conspicuum 'Red Flamingo' is a relatively low-maintenance choice for gardeners looking to introduce vibrant leaf colour without the need for flowers.
