Maple, Japanese Shishigashira
The Lion’s Head Maple, ‘Shishigashira,’ is a refined Japanese maple prized for its dense, crinkled clusters of rich green leaves that ripple along upright branches. Slow and sculptural, it forms a compact, irregular mound—ideal as a living accent near an entry, patio, or courtyard. In autumn the foliage transforms into glowing shades of gold, orange, and crimson, a final flourish before winter. It grows best in partial shade with steady, moderate moisture and protection from harsh afternoon sun. Its modest size suits smaller gardens and large containers alike. Deer and rabbits typically leave it untouched, making it as practical as it is beautiful.
