Ikandi Japanese Maple – Rare Pink Variegated Beauty! 💗🌿
Meet ‘Ikandi’ (pronounced “Eye Candy”), a stunning new Japanese maple introduction by Talon Buchholz that truly lives up to its name! This tree is a pink-lover’s dream, with some of the most vibrant spring color you’ll ever see.
‘Ikandi’ can have a lot of variation in leaf color depending on climate, light exposure, and age of plant. As the tree ages, you will begin to see much more variegation and brighter pink tones.
🌸 Spring Showstopper – New leaves can emerge almost solid pink, slowly fading to soft white with green veining
🌿 Summer Shift – New growth turns green, but don’t worry—the magical variegation returns stronger each year
🍁 Fall Finale – Gorgeous orange to red autumn color
🌳 Grows to 10–12 ft tall in 15 years
☀️ Best performance when leafing out outside in cool spring air
❄️ Hardy in Zones 5–9
✨ Fun Fact: ‘Ikandi’ doesn’t revert, but young 1-gallon plants may not show full variegation for a couple years- but totally worth the wait!
A true collector’s gem, ‘Ikandi’ is perfect for adding rare color and charm to your garden or landscape.
