Acer conspicuum ‘Red Flamingo’ is a striking deciduous tree that brings year-round beauty and interest to your garden. This 6ft specimen is known for its stunning pink and white variegated leaves, which emerge in spring and deepen in color as the season progresses. The foliage is complemented by distinctive red stems that provide vibrant color even in winter. In late spring, this Acer produces small clusters of yellow-green flowers, which are attractive to pollinators, making it a valuable addition to a wildlife-friendly garden.
For the best results, plant Acer conspicuum ‘Red Flamingo’ in a partially shaded or sunny position with moist, well-drained soil. It thrives in sheltered locations, away from strong winds, which helps protect its delicate foliage. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring, removing any dead or damaged branches to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Feeding with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring will promote vibrant foliage and robust growth.
‘Red Flamingo’ is a low-maintenance tree that adds year-round color to your landscape. Its striking appearance and long-lasting foliage interest make it a perfect focal point, while its flowers provide essential nectar for bees and other beneficial insects.
