    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This petite, 4-6' shrub maple packs a lot of punch for its diminutive size! Tiny leaves are a deep, dark-green with flamingo pink edges. New leaves emerge a soft-pink before developing the green centers. The bright-pink margins mature to cream in summer and then the foliage ages back to pink for autumn. This is a very showy specimen that makes a great container plant for patio or porch. Protect from wind. S-PSh/M
