Finally something new and different for the shade garden. ‘Sun King’ adds unique color and foliage to your shade garden. The size is much like a small shrub adding substance to the garden. White flowers and dark berries add an additional end of season interest.

(Golden Aralia) Aralia ‘Sun King’ is a beautiful foliage plant for part shade to full shade locations. The chartreuse multi petaled branches fan out, lending to an airy looking perennial. ‘Sun King’ produces white flowers in late summer, followed by purple berries in the fall/winter. Aralia makes a nice choice for combination planters and in the landscape. ‘Sun King’ prefers to be grown in good deep loam that is moist but has good drainage. It is an excellent choice for height and drama in the shade garden.

    When I first bought these I wasn’t aware they are perennials and not shrubs. When they died back that first winter I was disheartened. But wow, when they reappeared, the bright lime green was so exciting and a full 3 feet tall and wide.

    My first year of ordering from Garden Crossing. I ordered when we were knee deep in snow in Minnesota to make sure I got exactly what I was looking for. I planted these underneath my Lilac Bushes to brighten up the area. The quality of the plants and shipping were SUPERB! Love these for Shady area and part sun. Highly Recommend!
