'Butterfly' is a Japanese Maple to linger over throughout the year. The delicately cut leaves, pink-margined in spring, mature to a soft blue-green with creamy edges that twist slightly, suggesting butterflies. These variegations turn scarlet in fall. Winter reveals the small tree's upright, vase-shaped branch structure.
The 150 species of Maples have a wide distribution, from Europe and Asia to North and Central America. Their winged fruits twirl like helicopters when they drop, but their often colorful, lobed, or finely cut leaves are the real attraction.
