At Herter Nursery, we proudly offer the rare and distinctive Shishigashira Japanese Maple for sale. Also known as “Lion’s Head,” this compact, upright variety is prized for its dense, curled foliage that resembles a lion’s mane, offering a striking presence in any garden or landscape.

Ideal for any landscape or container, the Shishigashira maple grows slowly and offers year-round visual interest. In spring and summer, the leaves of the Shishigashira are a rich green, but it’s in autumn when this maple truly shines. As cooler temperatures arrive, its foliage bursts into brilliant shades of fiery orange and red, transforming any space into a stunning display of fall color.

Perfect for small spaces, containers, or as a focal point in your garden, the Shishigashira Japanese maple available for sale at our nursery is slow-growing and incredibly hardy, making it easy to maintain.

Reaching a mature height of 8 to 10 feet, it thrives in well-draining soil and partial shade, ensuring a long-lasting, low-maintenance addition to your landscape. Shishigashira’s upright form is perfect for adding structure and visual interest, particularly in Japanese gardens.
