(36-60” tall x 36-60” wide) There is so much to love about ‘Sun King’ Golden Japanese Spikenard (Aralia)- it’s no wonder it’s a favorite in some of the best gardens of the world. Once established, ‘Sun King’ can grow just over four feet in a season and makes an imposing specimen, though it will die back once the cold weather comes. Racemes of tiny, non-descript flowers are borne in late summer/early autumn, and attract pollinators, particularly bees. Plant in well-draining average to rich soils in shade to part-shade locations, keeping well-watered if soils are dry. ‘Sun King’ Golden Japanese Spikenard is incredibly flexible – two to four hours of sun give the leaves a golden yellow appearance and less sun exposure will merely result in leaves of deep chartreuse. For such a luscious, vigorous plant, Sun King Golden Japanese Spikenard is surprisingly deer resistant.
