The small, deeply lobed leaves emerge with soft pink tones in spring before maturing to grey-green with creamy white margins. As autumn approaches, the foliage transforms into vibrant shades of yellow, orange and crimson, creating a striking seasonal display. With its naturally compact, upright habit, 'Butterfly' is an excellent choice for smaller gardens, woodland settings and courtyard planting. The light-coloured foliage brings brightness to shaded areas and contrasts beautifully with darker shrubs and evergreens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Butterfly' offers interest through every season, from its delicately variegated spring and summer foliage to its vivid autumn display.
