Originally discovered as a chance seedling at Hefner’s Nursery in North Carolina, this outstanding cultivar is prized for its rich velvety maroon-red foliage that holds beautifully throughout spring and summer, even in warmer climates where many red maples struggle. As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into brilliant fiery red, creating a dramatic seasonal display. With its dense upright habit, strong branching structure, and remarkable sun tolerance, ‘Hefner’s Red’ is an excellent choice for specimen plantings, patios, collector gardens, and landscapes with warmer southwest exposures. Hardy, reliable, and highly ornamental, this maple delivers luxurious color and strong performance season after season.
