Description
Acer platanoides 'Drummondii' is an elegant variegated maple prized for its rounded shape and luminous presence in the garden, offering cream-edged green foliage that captures attention from spring to autumn. This common maple cultivar (Latin name Acer platanoides 'Drummondii' ) combines strong ornamental appeal with steady growth, making it ideal as a specimen tree, in rows, or as a structural element in borders and large spaces. Its well-proportioned shape provides delicate shade and integrates well into various planting styles, while its discreet flowers sometimes attract pollinators. Adapted to fertile, well-drained soils, it tolerates full sun to partial shade and is resistant to moderate urban conditions. In autumn, the contrasting colors enrich the garden palette and enhance landscape designs.
