Acer 'Orange Dream' with Astilbes

The Acer is lovely I have one and gave the other in a pot to my daughter they survive the winters OK in pots and ground mine is now about 12ft tall in the ground.

Your Acer looks so lovely in that pot,Shirley..not sure if one would survive outdoors here..my other Acer didn't,but my Astilbe does,so that's ok :o) x

I love the new foliage it is so attractive.... our Orange Dream is in the ground and the same size as yours 3pence...Astilbes are hardy here......

It was left out in a pot for years prior Dottydaisy I then got another to put in the empty pot which my daughter has now. As long as they are well watered and not in a windy place mine did OK left out for years. Same as my pink one I uploaded the other week. This has stayed out side since it was smaller than Shirley's.

Thanks everyone ... having lost a couple of purple Acers over the years I am 'molly-coddling' this Orange Dream!

I don't blame you Shirley tulip if you have lost others before.
