Acer palmatum ‘Cotton Candy’ brings evolving color from the first days of spring through the close of fall. New leaves emerge with a clear pink tone, then soften into a blend of cream, warm pink, and green variegation as the season settles in. This Harold Johnson introduction is known for holding its variegation into mid-summer, especially with light afternoon shade. As a newer variety, it is estimated to be 10–12 ft at maturity, which makes it a natural fit for modest garden spaces or near entryways and patios.

Seasonal color that shifts naturally over time: The tree begins the year with fresh pink growth, moves into soft variegation through the warmer months, and then finishes the season in shades of red and orange as the weather cools. The steady transition keeps your landscape visually engaging from spring to fall.

Adaptable and easy to place: ‘Cotton Candy’ grows well in well-drained soils ranging from average to rich and performs in full sun to light shade with regular moisture. Its manageable size and balanced branching make placement straightforward in borders, mixed beds, or smaller garden rooms.

Reliable form for long-term design: The rounded, even shape adds gentle height and dependable structure. It will pair well with shrubs and perennials, helping anchor plantings with color and form that hold up throughout the growing season.
