Aralia

Description

Aralia (pronounced uh-RAY-lee-uh), commonly known as Spikenard, is a versatile and striking shrub or small tree admired for its large, compound leaves and bold form. Whether deciduous or evergreen, in bush or tree form, and even in indoor varieties, Aralia adds dramatic texture and lush, verdant foliage to gardens, borders, and woodland settings. Its dense clusters of leaves come in a range of colors, including green, yellow, variegated, and deep purple, creating a stunning visual impact.

In late summer to early fall, Aralia produces clusters of tiny white to greenish flowers that attract pollinators, followed by small, dark berries that are a popular food source for local birds. Thriving in partial shade to full shade and well-draining, fertile soil, Aralia is perfect for shady gardens where it adds vertical interest and bold, statement-making foliage. These hardy plants are relatively low-maintenance, making them an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a unique yet easy-care addition to their landscape.
