The 'Crimson Queen' Japanese Maple is one of the most popular weeping, laceleaf cultivars available, prized for its excellent color retention and elegant, cascading growth habit. Unlike some red Japanese maples that fade to a muddy green during the heat of mid-to-late summer, 'Crimson Queen' holds its rich, deep crimson-burgundy hue exceptionally well before transitioning to a vibrant bright scarlet in the autumn.
