Acer palmatum 'Ariadne' is a striking mid-sized Japanese Maple known for its variegated foliage and upright growth, reaching 8-10 feet over time. The leaves exhibit a captivating colour progression: starting with deep burgundy buds in early spring, transitioning to bright yellow with red and pink highlights as they unfold. Throughout summer, the yellow foliage gradually darkens to a rich maroon. Best grown in filtered light, ‘Ariadne’ adds vibrant, dynamic colour to any garden, making it an exceptional choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and distinction.
