American Meadows Sun King Aralia

This plant is highly adaptable and thrives in anything from full shade to partial sun. Keep in mind that the foliage color will be a brighter golden-chartreuse in more light, while it will shift to a deeper, lime-green shade in darker areas.

Sun King Aralia is relatively low-maintenance, but it does have high watering needs. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist, especially during hot summer months, to prevent the large leaves from wilting.

It is a fast grower that can reach its mature height of up to four feet in a single growing season. Because it is a deciduous perennial, it will die back to the ground in winter and emerge again in the spring.

It performs best in loamy, well-drained soil. Because it requires high moisture, ensure your planting site has good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots while still retaining enough water to keep the plant hydrated.

Absolutely. The late-summer flowers attract bees and other pollinators, while the blue-black berries that follow provide a valuable food source for birds in your garden.
