Acer palmatum ‘Lileeane’s Jewel’
Japanese Maple - Lileeanne's Jewel
An outstanding darkly variegated Japanese Maple! Dark purplish-red spring foliage is molted with tones of red, pink and white. While summer transforms the purplish-red base colour to a greenish tone, the splashes of variegation hold up well, perhaps lightening up a bit. Fall colours introduce bright red into the mix. Grows 7′ high by 5′ wide in a 10 year period.
