Notes:
The Ariadne Japanese Maple, also affectionately called "Goddess" in China, lives up to its name with breathtaking foliage and refined elegance. Developed by the renowned Esveld Nursery in the Netherlands and named after the nursery owner’s daughter, 'Ariadne' features multi-toned foliage that evolves dramatically with the seasons—starting with red-pink and apricot hues in spring, transitioning to green in summer, and finally exploding into fiery red or warm orange in autumn. Its soft branches and intricate leaf structure make it a showpiece in any landscape. Ideal for collectors and shade gardens, this variety also performs well in southern China’s warm climate.
