Acer palmatum 'Butterfly' ~ Butterfly Japanese Maple
Butterfly Japanese Maple is a small upright deciduous tree with strongly upright branching and deeply palmated lace-like variegated foliage that is sometimes twisted. Its grey-green leaves with creamy margins can emerge edged with pink in spring and the white margins become scarlet to maroon in fall. Small, non-showy but attractive umbels of red flowers bloom in spring followed by samaras. Grows best in rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Prefers full sun in cooler climates, but needs afternoon shade in southern areas.
