Due to the sensitive and breakable nature of our products, it's understandable that damages may occur despite our meticulous packaging methods. If you find that your plant or pot has arrived in a less than satisfactory condition, please reach out to us at hello@plantsforallseasons.co.uk within a month of your delivery date. When contacting us, please provide your order reference, alongside a photo clearly showing the damaged item and its packaging, including the delivery label. We are committed to resolving such issues by offering a refund or a replacement, depending on the availability of the item in question.
We are unable to accept returns that are not related to damage because plants are inherently perishable and delicate. It's also worth noting that the plant you receive may slightly differ from the images displayed on our website. This variation is natural, given that each plant is unique and subject to seasonal growth changes.

Acer palmatum ‘Garnet’ is a highly popular cultivar of the Japanese maple, renowned for its deep garnet-red, finely dissected foliage and graceful, mounding form. It brings elegant texture and vivid colour to gardens for much of the year.
Foliage: The leaves are deeply lobed and finely cut, almost lace-like (dissectum type). They emerge a brilliant garnet-red in spring, retain rich red tones through summer, and often deepen to fiery crimson in autumn. Unlike some reds that turn bronze or green, ‘Garnet’ holds its colour well even in warmer weather.
Habit: Forms a neat, rounded, cascading shape. Typically grows to 1.5–2 metres high and can spread to 2.5–3 metres wide over time, making it perfect for small gardens or focal points.
Bark: Young stems have a subtle red flush, adding mild winter interest once the leaves drop.
‘Garnet’ is ideal for Japanese-style gardens, shady borders, or as a stunning specimen in a pot on a patio. Its elegant weeping habit looks beautiful next to ponds, rocks or underplanted with low-growing perennials.
Thrives in partial shade or dappled sunlight. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal to protect the delicate leaves from scorching.
Avoid exposed spots with hot, midday sun or harsh winds.
Needs a sheltered position, away from strong winds that can damage or shred the fine foliage.
Protect from late spring frosts, which can scorch young shoots.
Likes consistently moist but well-drained soil.
Water during dry spells, especially when newly planted or in pots. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
Mulch annually to keep the root zone cool and moist.
Prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil that is fertile and rich in organic matter.
Avoid heavy clay or chalky soils. If needed, plant in a raised bed or large pot with ericaceous compost.
Feed lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser. A specific acer or ericaceous feed works well.
Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers, which encourage soft growth prone to frost damage.
Minimal pruning needed. Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter.
If shaping is required, prune lightly after leaf fall. Avoid heavy pruning, which can spoil its natural cascading shape.
Generally pest-free. May occasionally get aphids on new growth.
Leaf scorch (brown edges) usually caused by drought, hot sun or strong winds rather than disease.
Rarely affected by verticillium wilt; avoid replanting where maples have previously died of wilt.
Excellent in pots. Use ericaceous compost mixed with grit, and ensure good drainage with pot feet.
Water more regularly in summer and protect from frost by wrapping the pot in winter or moving to a sheltered spot.
