Olsen’s Frosted Strawberry sports reticulated leaves with prominent and lasting venation like the Ghost maples and wows with never-ending, fantastic changing colors that are a joy to watch through the seasons. Nothing in your garden will look like this extraordinary cultivar. It’s beautiful all year round, and the spring color will knock your socks off. In spring, the leaves emerge a pinkish orange quickly transition to a brilliant pink and then beautiful purple pink with deep green veining. In summer the leaves transition to a cream or white with red veining, hence the name, while a heavy second flush of new leaves emerge a brilliant red to pink-red. Cooler temperatures in fall bring fiery orange to pinkish red shades. A slow grower that might reach 3 to 6 feet tall and wide at 10 years of age, Olsen’s Frosted Strawberry is truly a stand out in the garden and a delight to look at close up.
Easily grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prefers lightly sun dappled part shade. Avoid hot and dry sites. Leaves may scorch in full sun in hot southern summers. Plant in a location protected from strong winds. (Courtesy of the Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
