Thompson & Morgan Acer Palmatum Butterfly 3 Litre Potted Plant X 1

Acer palmatum 'Butterfly' boasts exquisitely variegated leaves in mid-green with delicate cream and pink margins. This variety develops a dense, upright habit, making it an attractive choice for a small tree or a patio container specimen. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 1.5m (5'). Supplied as 1 x 3 litre Potted Plant.Growing Information: Pot up Acer plants and keep them in cool, frost-free conditions until they are large enough to be planted outside. Once the plants are well-established, gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting them into their final positions in borders. Acer trees thrive in moist, fertile, well-drained soil, in either full sun or dappled shade. Provide shelter from strong winds, which can scorch their finely cut leaves. Alternatively, grow Acer in large containers with a soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3.
