Liquidambar styraciflua 'Frosty' (Sweetgum)

Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Frosty’ (Sweetgum)

A distinctive variegated sweetgum with a broadly pyramidal habit and eye-catching foliage. Each star-shaped leaf features soft green centers edged in creamy white, giving the tree a bright, frosted appearance throughout the growing season.

In fall, the foliage takes on shades of pink, red, and burgundy, often with hints of the variegation still visible, adding extra dimension to the display. Its upright form and moderate growth make it a strong focal point in lawns or larger landscape settings.

Best grown in full sun for the most vibrant color, this selection provides season-long interest with minimal care once established.
