Acer palmatum 'Butterfly'
Acer palmatum 'Butterfly' is a refined Japanese maple, prized for its light green variegated foliage edged with creamy white to pink, which gives it a delicate and unique appearance. Its slow growth and naturally graceful form make it a perfect choice for small gardens, rockeries, or container gardens. In autumn, its foliage turns subtle pinks and reds, adding to its charm. Highly decorative and space-saving, 'Butterfly' is ideal for adding lightness and contrast to any elegant landscape design.
