Aralia General Information
Extra-large and fast-growing, so give Golden Japanese Spikenard sufficient elbow room. If grown in deeper shade, the foliage retains a muted lime-green color. (2-3 hours of sun will bring out the yellow tones) Bold foliage will contrast nicely with lacy plants like ferns and astilbe.
Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho
at this time.
Aralia Plant Care
Prefers moist, fertile, humusy, well-drained soils. Shelter from strong winds to protect the large compound foliage. No pruning needed, but in colder climates plant may die back to the ground and start again, similar to a Butterfly Bush or Caryopteris. Dead stems can be removed once it buds out / starts again.
