Description
 
Eye-catching species from China with palmate leaves spritzed with white on top and a bright maroon underneath.  The pink flowers are just another layer of adornment which always come as a bit of a surprise to us as we are always completely satisfied with the leaves alone.  Another surprise is the hardiness which is zone 8.  If winter is going to push the lower limits of that zone for any length of time, be a bud and take care of your homie with a little mulch.  This is slow to go in the spring, waiting until June but it catches right up.
