Japanese Aralia

Japanese Aralia is a great way to add an exotic, tropical look to your landscape. It's perfect for shade beds, coastal plantings, containers, and poolside. Its large size makes it a great choice for a specimen plant, creating visual interest wherever it's planted. The foliage is especially gorgeous—large, rich green with small, white flowers blooming in fall. This semi-evergreen shrub reaches up to 5 feet in height and the same size in width at maturity.

Hardy in zones 8-11, this shrub will fit right in the North Texas climate. It prospers in partial to full shade. While it can tolerate some morning sun, be careful during the afternoon hours, as direct sunlight can scorch its leaves. Plant it in well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
