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 one of the most popular lace-leaf Japanese maples, prized for its finely dissected foliage and rich, long-lasting colour. It brings graceful texture and vivid tones to gardens from spring through autumn.
Foliage: Delicately cut, lace-like leaves emerge a vibrant deep garnet-red in spring, retain strong reddish hues throughout summer (less likely to bronze than some red cultivars), and develop glowing scarlet highlights in autumn.
Habit: A gently cascading, mounded shrub with a layered, dome-like shape. Typically reaches about 1.5–2 metres high with a wider spread (up to 2.5–3 metres), creating an elegant umbrella effect.
Bark & Winter Interest: Young twigs have subtle red tones, offering some interest even in the dormant season.
Because ‘Garnet’ holds its colour well, it is especially valuable among the lace-leaf group (dissectums) for maintaining vivid red foliage throughout the growing season, rather than fading to green. It’s ideal as a specimen by water, in Japanese-style gardens, or in a container to admire up close.
Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight.
A little morning sun helps intensify leaf colour, but protect from harsh afternoon sun which can scorch delicate leaves.
Shelter from cold, drying winds is essential.
Best planted in a protected spot to avoid windburn on the fine foliage.
Keep away from exposed sites and avoid frost pockets, which may damage young shoots in spring.
Likes soil to be consistently moist, especially during the growing season.
Avoid allowing it to dry out completely, but also ensure soil is never waterlogged.
A yearly mulch of bark or leaf mould helps retain moisture and keeps roots cool.
Prefers slightly acidic to neutral, fertile, well-drained soils.
Avoid heavy clay or very chalky ground. If needed, plant in raised beds or large containers with ericaceous compost.
Feed lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or a specific acer feed.
Avoid high-nitrogen feeds, which promote soft growth susceptible to wind and frost.
Requires little pruning.
Remove dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter while dormant.
Light shaping can be done then too. Avoid heavy pruning, which spoils its natural dome.
Generally pest-free.
Watch for aphids on young shoots.
Leaf scorch (brown tips or edges) is usually caused by drought, hot winds or intense sun.
Excellent in a pot to show off its cascading form on patios or terraces.
Use ericaceous compost mixed with grit for drainage.
Keep container raised on pot feet and water regularly in dry spells.
In very cold spells, move pot to a sheltered spot or wrap to protect roots.
