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 ‘Seiryu’ is a remarkable and distinctive Japanese maple, celebrated for being the only upright-growing lace-leaf (dissectum) variety, combining the finely cut, delicate foliage typical of weeping maples with an elegant, vertical habit. The name ‘Seiryu’ means “blue-green dragon” in Japanese, reflecting the graceful, airy appearance of its foliage.
Foliage: The deeply divided, lace-like leaves emerge a bright light green in spring, edged with soft reddish tones. Through summer, they hold a fresh mid-green, before transforming into a dazzling mix of fiery crimson, orange and yellow in autumn, creating one of the most impressive seasonal displays of any maple.
Habit: Unlike typical dissectum maples which form cascading domes, ‘Seiryu’ grows into an upright, multi-branched small tree, developing a striking vase-shaped form that typically reaches 4–6 metres high with a spread of about 2.5–3.5 metres over many years.
Bark: Smooth greyish branches add gentle winter structure, showcasing the tree’s fine branching pattern once the leaves fall.
Because of its unique combination of finely cut foliage and upright growth, ‘Seiryu’ stands out both as a specimen tree and in mixed borders, offering an elegant focal point through all seasons.
Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight, which protects the delicate leaves from scorching.
More tolerant of sun than many lace-leaf varieties, but in very hot sites, it’s best with some afternoon shade.
Plant in a sheltered position, out of strong winds which can tear the fine leaves and cause browning.
Likes soil to be consistently moist but well-drained.
Water thoroughly during dry spells, particularly when young or in containers.
A mulch of compost or bark in spring helps conserve moisture and protect shallow roots.
Prefers slightly acidic to neutral, fertile, humus-rich soil.
Avoid very alkaline or heavy clay soils. If needed, plant in raised beds or large containers using ericaceous compost mixed with grit to improve drainage.
Feed lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or an acer-specific feed.
Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers which encourage soft growth prone to wind and frost damage.
Requires minimal pruning.
Remove dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when dormant.
Avoid hard pruning which disrupts its graceful, airy shape.
Generally very healthy and low maintenance.
May occasionally attract aphids on new shoots.
Leaf scorch (brown tips or edges) is usually caused by drought, strong wind or excessive sun rather than disease.
Well-suited to large pots, making it ideal for patios or courtyards where soil is unsuitable.
Use ericaceous compost with added grit, ensure containers drain freely and are raised on feet.
Water consistently and protect container roots in harsh winters by wrapping or moving to a sheltered spot.
