Features
A shrubby Japanese maple noted for the neat texture and ever-changing color of its foliage. In spring, the dissected foliage emerges yellow; a pink margin soon develops, then that shifts to white with shades of reddish-orange in summer. In autumn, the entire leaf transforms to orange-red and eventually red-violet. A finalist in RHS Plant of the Year competition at the Chelsea Flower Show developed by Mr. Van Meuwen and Mr. Keijzer of the Netherlands.
