With white speckling concentrating toward the edges of large palmate leaves, this evergreen will light up the shade. And autumn brings stout sprays of spherical white flowers. If you were wondering what to do with the shady portion of a tropicalesque garden, this is it! Or, if you are enjoying the current revival of mid-century modern design, this Aralia, along with perhaps some clumping bamboo,hakone grass, and pea gravel and stones would be authentic for the period. Can you see it? This is a rare offering from Japan. 3 5′ T x 2′ W
