Introducing Acer palmatum 'Butterfly', a captivating addition to any garden with its exquisitely variegated mid green leaves adorned with delicate cream and pink margins. This striking Japanese Maple features a dense, upright habit that forms an attractive small tree or patio container specimen, adding elegance and colour to any landscape. With a height of 3m (10') and a spread of 1.5m (5'), 'Butterfly' is a versatile choice, perfect for both small gardens and larger landscapes. Whether planted as a standalone focal point or as part of a mixed border, this Acer palmatum variety is sure to make a statement. Pot up the acer plants and grow them in cool, frost-free conditions until they're large enough to be planted outside in their final positions. Gradually acclimatize them to outdoor conditions before transplanting them into borders or containers in any moist, fertile, well-drained soil, either in sun or dappled shade. Provide shelter from strong winds to prevent leaf scorching. Water regularly throughout the growing season to establish strong roots and protect the plants from strong winds. Acer trees require minimal pruning to maintain their shape, and any necessary trimming can be done lightly from late autumn to midwinter. How to Grow: Light: Sun or dappled shade Temperature: Cool, frost-free conditions Watering: Regularly to establish roots Feeding: Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season Humidity: Average humidity levels Supplied as 1x 15cm Potted Plant.
