The bright golden leaves of this ?Little Aurora? sport are water-color washed with chartreuse on the edge...spectacular! PSh/M PP11603

By: Forestfarm

Tony Avent's outstanding sport of 'Little Aurora', gold centered leaves with a broad irregular lime green edge, what makes it unique is the dark green overlay markings. Tony claims they look like maple leaves, and given the variability in Acer I guess that is safe.

Thick, slightly cupped and puckered bright gold leaves with metallic sheen and dark green maple leaf tattooed on each leaf; a real eye catcher & most unusual. Pale lavender flowers in mid summer. Plant in partial sun to medium shade. Small hosta.
