Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A wonderfully variegated maple for smaller gardens!? Leaves emerge with apricot tones and mature to dark green w/ purple undersides and heavily blotched and misted with white.? Due to the purple underside of the leaf, the white can appear light pink.? This is a unique tree and no two are alike. It prefers moist, well-drained soil in partial sun.? Avoid hot afternoon sun, as this can scorch the foliage.
