About

Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito': the botanical lace for your garden or terrace

The 'Koto-no-ito' Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) is one of the most elegant Japanese maples of all, prized for its filiform and deeply cut deciduous foliage whose fineness evokes the strings of a harp (koto-no-ito literally means "koto strings" in Japanese).

  • Foliage: deciduous, palmate leaves with very narrow and deeply cut lobes, bright green in spring and summer, then flaming golden to orange in autumn
  • Exposure: partial shade to light shade, sheltered from the wind and midday sun to preserve the fineness of the foliage
  • Hardiness: hardy, resists frost down to about -15 °C once well established
  • Use: ideal in a pot on a shaded terrace or balcony, in a mass planting, as a border or in a Japanese-style garden
  • Distinctive feature: slow growth and naturally harmonious airy habit, which requires little pruning and retains its silhouette for a long time
  • Packaging: according to the lot chosen, 19 cm pot, height 70 cm

Grown directly by our partner growers, your 'Koto-no-ito' Japanese Maple is delivered to you healthy and vigorous, ready to enhance your outdoor space from the very first season.

Everything You Need to Know About Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito' (Acer palmatum) - with fiery foliage - 19 cm Pot - Height 70 cm

What exposure should the Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito' be planted in?

The Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito' (Acer palmatum) prefers partial shade to light shade. Prolonged direct sunlight, especially in midsummer, risks burning its particularly fine and delicate thread-like leaves. The ideal location is bright in the morning and shaded in the afternoon, or under the filtered cover of a large deciduous tree. Be sure to protect it from strong, drying winds, which damage its foliage and stress the tree. In a pot on a terrace, face it east or place it in the shade cast by a south-facing wall.

Is the Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito' hardy and frost-tolerant?

Yes, the Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito' (Acer palmatum) is a hardy shrub that can withstand frost down to approximately -15°C once properly established in the ground. It can therefore overwinter outdoors in the vast majority of regions in France without any special protection. However, when grown in a pot, the roots are more exposed to the cold because the container dries out and cools down faster than the soil: protect the pot with horticultural fleece or burlap during intense cold spells.

What soil is suitable for the Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito'?

The Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito' (Acer palmatum) thrives in cool, humus-rich, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral, with an ideal pH between 5.5 and 6.5. It dislikes alkaline and overly dry soils, as well as heavy soils that retain water. For planting in the ground, generously enrich the bottom of the hole with ericaceous soil, well-rotted compost, or leaf mold, which mimic the forest understory soil where it grows naturally.

How to water the Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito' in a pot?

When grown in a pot, the 'Koto-no-ito' Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) requires regular attention to watering, as the potting medium dries out much faster than it does in the ground. Water as soon as the top few centimeters of soil feel dry, without waiting for the potting medium to dry out completely, as this would cause the tree considerable stress. In summer, during hot spells, watering every two to three days may be necessary, especially if the pot is placed in a windy location.

When and how to prune the Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito'?

T'he Japanese maple 'Koto-no-ito' is a slow-growing shrub that d'oes not need 'regular, intensive pruning: its natural form is already harmonious and airy. It is enough to remove dead, broken, or crossing branches to maintain the silhouette of the 'tree and promote good air circulation. The ideal time to prune is late 'winter, just before the buds 'open, when the structure of the 'tree is still clearly visible.

Can the Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito' be grown on a balcony or terrace?

Absolutely: the Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito' (Acer palmatum) is one of the best Japanese maples for growing in a pot on a balcony or terrace, thanks in particular to its slow growth and compact, graceful form. Choose a large container (at least 40 litres for a mature specimen) with good drainage holes, and use a light, well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix. Place the pot in a partially shaded spot, protected from the wind and afternoon sun.

Which plants should the ‘Koto-no-ito’ Japanese maple be paired with in the garden?

The Japanese Maple 'Koto-no-ito' pairs beautifully with other woodland plants or those creating a Japanese-inspired atmosphere. At the base of the tree, plant hostas with contrasting broad leaves, graceful ferns such as Dryopteris erythrosora, or even astilbes for delicate summer blooms. Ornamental grasses such as Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' form golden tufts that complement the fine foliage of the maple beautifully.
