Butterfly Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Butterfly'
'Butterfly' is a stunning Japanese maple cultivar that is highly prized for its delicate, variegated foliage and graceful, upright growth habit. It can reach a height of up to 10 feet with a spread of up to 6 feet, making it a perfect choice for small gardens or as a feature plant in larger landscapes. The 'Butterfly' cultivar is hardy and adaptable, thriving in partial shade to full sun conditions. Its foliage emerges in the spring as a soft, creamy white and green before maturing to a light green with pinkish-white margins throughout the summer months. In the fall, the leaves turn a vibrant deep scarlet, adding a beautiful display of color to any outdoor space. This cultivar is relatively low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for novice gardeners. It prefers well-draining soil that is kept consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Regular pruning is recommended to maintain its shape and keep it from becoming too tall or wide. With its variegated foliage and easy-care nature, 'Butterfly' is a must-have for any garden enthusiast looking to add a touch of sophistication to their garden or landscape.
