Golden Japanese Spikenard (Aralia cordata 'Sun King') |
Have |
east side by air conditioner, the soil there is kind of heavy.This needs moved, it is too close to the house. Noticed new growth April 11, 2024, but we had a very early spring this year. 'Sun King' is a slow starter the first year or two but with age will reach 4 to 6 feet tall and wide. It's also a bit slow to emerge in the spring, so be patient. The large golden yellow leaves are decidedly tropical in demeanor, but 'Sun King' is hardy in USDA Zones 3–9 |
