Acer Palmatum the Japaneses maples are about to look fantastic. Why not under plant them with equally fantastic foliage.
Compliment your beautiful acer with a ground cover foliage plant.
If you have a deep red acer palmatum what better than Heucherella Tapestry. A great plant in shade or semi shade. The deep veining on the Heucherella tones with the rich red foliage growing above it can be a winning combination. The limey green tones of the leave coupled with the dark red veins planted under dark red foliage make a perfect outfit. Heucherella is easy to grow and makes good ground cover. The pretty pink flower spires are a bonus.This combination would also be effective with red cotinus and the red winter cornus bark.
