Growing Aralia: Striking Foliage for Woodland and Borders

Growing Aralia

Pronunciation: a-ray'-lee-a

All species come mainly from mountain woodlands, known for striking foliage. Very useful in middle or back of border, and in woodland gardens.

Grow in partial shade in moist but well-drained soil. Thrive in fertile, humus-rich soil; provide healthy layer of organic material (compost, aged manure, leaf mold).
