Acer Palmatum 'Butterfly' Japanese Maple

The Butterfly Japanese Maple is a stunning ornamental tree prized for its delicate, lacy leaves edged in creamy white and soft pink. This compact variety brings a refined, airy elegance to small garden spaces, borders, or containers - and its variegated foliage glows in light.

In fall, the leaves turn a soft reddish-pink, adding another layer of color and seasonal interest. With a graceful, upright habit and slow growth, it's an ideal choice for accent plantings, courtyard, or any spot that calls for subtle, sophisticated charm.
