Add extraordinary color and collector appeal to your landscape with Acer palmatum ‘Uzen Nishiki’, an exceptionally rare variegated Japanese Maple prized for its dramatic pink, purple, and white foliage. In early spring, deeply divided green leaves emerge with bold pink to purple borders while the centers display stunning white and pink variegation, creating one of the most striking foliage displays among Japanese maples.

As the season progresses, the purple edging softens while the variegation becomes even more prominent, providing evolving beauty throughout the growing season. Elegant and highly ornamental, ‘Uzen Nishiki’ makes a spectacular focal point for patios, Japanese gardens, collector landscapes, and decorative containers. You will receive a healthy plant similar in size and condition to the one shown in the listing photos.
