Japanese spikenard, Aralia cordata 'Sun King’, is a fantastic foliage plant that forms a mound of large, golden-yellow leaves that hold their colour well if grown in sun. Spikes of small white flowers appear in late summer, followed by purple berries. It’s perfect for adding structure to a garden border and makes a great foil for different coloured blooms.
Grow Aralia cordata 'Sun King’ in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade (leaf colour will darken to lime green in shade). Water regularly and protect from wind.
