‘Ukigumo’, also known as the Floating Clouds Japanese maple, is an exquisite variety and a rare gem. It's particularly stunning in spring when its heavily variegated foliage appears almost pure white with hints of green and pink. This ethereal appearance earns it the name "Floating Clouds." As the season progresses, the variegation mellows, and in autumn, the leaves surprise with vibrant orange hues, providing a dramatic contrast to its delicate springtime appearance. Best grown in partial shade to protect its delicate leaves from scorching, ‘Ukigumo’ is a showpiece in any garden, ideal for creating a serene focal point.
