Acer palmatum 'Kagiri-nishiki'

Acer palmatum is a deciduous, woody shrub native to parts of Asia and Russia. There are many garden-worthy cultivars available, which have been bred for their leaf shapes and colours.

Acer palmatum ‘Kagiri-Nishiki’ is a variegated Japanese maple, bearing deeply lobed, mid-green leaves with a slightly bluish tinge and with pink and white margins, throughout summer. Leaves turn crimson-gold before falling in autumn.

For best results, grow ‘Kagiri-Nishiki’ in sun or partial shade, and protect it from the harshest winds, which may cause leaf scorch.
