ICNCP Name: 'Satsuki-beni'

Formerly 'Satsuki beni'

The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) establishes the rules and regulations for proper naming of plants. When different, the cultivar database displays the correct(ed) ICNCP name, rather than its previous cultivar name.

Japanese Maple Classification:

Hardiness Zone (for guidance only):

5a to 8b

五月紅, Satsuki-beni, meaning "Red in May." Gregory first mentions this Acer pictum in Japanese Maples 3rd ed., but we are inferring the kanji spelling here. He describes it as heavily variegated and available in Japan, in spite of which it has yet to be brought to the West, and no readily available trace is found either in the literature or the internet. Not to be confused with the Acer palmatum (or Acer amoenum) cultivar of the same name. (ED)
