About this plant

Acer palmatum 'White Sock' is a striking Japanese maple cultivar known for its uniquely variegated foliage. The delicate leaves feature a mix of creamy white margins and soft green centers, creating a luminous effect in shaded garden settings. During the spring and summer months, the variegation is vivid, while fall brings additional appeal with warm orange to red tones. This smaller ornamental tree is ideal for containers, small landscapes, or as a focal point in Asian-inspired gardens. Its graceful, compact growth habit and distinctive color make it a favorite among collectors.
