Acer palmatum 'Peve Starfish' is a slow-growing, semi-dwarf Japanese Maple that eventually reaches about 8 feet in height and 4 feet in width over 20 years, making it ideal for compact gardens or container planting. Its distinctive leaves feature narrow, downward-curving lobes resembling a starfish, which inspired its name. The foliage displays striking seasonal colour changes, starting bright red in spring, maturing to a deep maroon almost black in summer, and turning vibrant crimson red as temperatures cool in autumn.
