Acer palmatum 'Hana Matoi' blue flowers Thanks to Mike Chelednik forAcer palmatum 'Hana Matoi' is a slow growing, variegated, red, cut leaf Japanese maple that is one of the most stunning Japanese maples I've ever seen That being said, it is not easy to grow. It tends to produce all red bronze branches that need to be promptly removed to maintain the variegation. Acer palmatum 'Hana Matoi' needs some protection from hot afternoon sun. Fall color is red.
