Thompson & Morgan Acer Palmatum Ukigumo 3 Litre Potted Plant X 1 from B&Q

Thompson & Morgan

Given the poetic name ‘Floating Cloud Maple’ this striking Acer boasts unusual, variegated foliage with each cream-coloured leaf baring a unique pattern of pale green speckles and a blush pink tip. With some foliage emerging completely cream and other more speckled, the stunning colours of ‘Ukigumo’ truly evolve throughout the growing season to create pale and floaty visual interest. Especially striking when contrasted with a darker background foliage, this slow growing yet beautiful variety is perfect as a specimen plant and patio containers. Better yet, the foliage changes in autumn to bring rich yellow and orange colour tones to your garden providing multiple seasons of interest, before droppings its leaves to uncover an elegant tracery of fine, tiered branches. Flowering from April to May.How to grow:Grow Acers in any moist, fertile, well-drained soil in sun or dappled shade.
