Japanese Maple 'Hanami Nishiki'

Japanese Maple 'Hanami Nishiki' (Acer palmatum 'Hanami Nishiki') is a delightful variegated cultivar whose name evokes "flower viewing brocade." It features leaves with irregular margins of creamy white to pale yellow, often with pink tints on new growth.

The variegation pattern is somewhat stable but can vary with light exposure. It forms a small, bushy tree or large shrub with a dense habit. Autumn color typically includes orange and red tones blended with the variegated sectors.

This cultivar benefits from a sheltered location with dappled shade to maintain its colorful foliage without burn. It is an excellent choice for brightening a shaded garden corner.
