Arctic Jade is a cold-hardy hybrid from Iseli Nursery's Jack Frost collection. Its large, deeply divided green leaves recall fernleaf Japanese maple, supported by a broad upright framework. Orange and red mix across the foliage in autumn, offering Japanese-maple-like texture in landscapes with colder winter conditions.
