This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

  • Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist soil
  • Rate of growth: average to fast
  • Flowering period: August to September
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

    Aralia is a great foliage plant that quickly forms a handsome mound of large, golden-green (or lime-coloured in shadier spots) leaves, which are held on rich mahogany stems. The tropical-looking foliage is reason enough to choose this plant, as it will add structure and form as well as colour to the planting scheme. In late summer however, tall flowerspikes appear, smothered in rounded clusters of tiny white flowers, and later rounded black (inedible) fruit - a bonus!

  • Garden care: Keep plants growing in full sun really well watered. Protect from strong winds. Remove suckers as soon as they appear, cutting them back to the base of the plant.
  • Humans/Pets: Fruit are ornamental - not to be eaten
