New leaves emerge a vivid pink-red in spring before gradually maturing to a cool bluish-green through summer. Additional flushes of pink-red new growth can appear against the darker mature foliage, creating an almost flower-like effect throughout the growing season. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"764\" data-content-reference-end=\"783\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"808\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003eDespite its compact size, 'Kuro Hime' is a vigorous grower with a dense, upright habit, typically reaching around 4–5 feet tall. Its smaller stature makes it an excellent choice for containers, patios, small garden spaces, and Japanese-inspired landscapes. In fall, the foliage finishes the season with brilliant red color. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"1109\" data-content-reference-end=\"1128\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"zkgvc2\" dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003eTree Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1941\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1208\"\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1224\"\u003eAcer palmatum\u003c\/em\u003e 'Kuro Hime'\u003cbr data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1255\"\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kuro Hime Japanese Maple \/ Dwarf Princess Japanese Maple\u003cbr data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1315\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1315\" data-end=\"1332\"\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, dense and upright\u003cbr data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1362\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1362\" data-end=\"1378\"\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 4–5 ft tall\u003cbr data-start=\"1404\" data-end=\"1407\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1407\" data-end=\"1423\"\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate for a dwarf Japanese maple\u003cbr data-start=\"1459\" data-end=\"1462\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1479\"\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morning sun to partial shade; afternoon protection is beneficial in warmer climates\u003cbr data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1566\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1591\"\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–9\u003cbr data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1598\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1615\"\u003eSpring Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright pink-red\u003cbr data-start=\"1631\" data-end=\"1634\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1651\"\u003eSummer Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bluish-green with contrasting pink-red new growth\u003cbr data-start=\"1701\" data-end=\"1704\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1704\" data-end=\"1719\"\u003eFall Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brilliant red\u003cbr data-start=\"1733\" data-end=\"1736\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1736\" data-end=\"1756\"\u003eNotable Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dwarf size with colorful pink-red secondary growth against bluish-green foliage\u003cbr data-start=\"1836\" data-end=\"1839\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1839\" data-end=\"1848\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained soil; avoid waterlogged conditions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parker Ranch Japanese Maples","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":67602402213987,"sku":"PR-KUROHIME-1G","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gallon XL","offer_id":67602402246755,"sku":"PR-KUROHIME-1GXL","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 Gallon","offer_id":67602402279523,"sku":"PR-KUROHIME-2G","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":67602402312291,"sku":"PR-KUROHIME-3G","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":67602402345059,"sku":"PR-KUROHIME-5G","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/3341\/3219\/files\/Acerpalmatum_KuroHime_1.jpg?v=1790705080","url":"https:\/\/parkerranchmaples.com\/products\/kuro-hime-japanese-maple","provider":"Parker Ranch Japanese Maples ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
