Elk Clover

Aralia californica

Aralia

Aralia californica full sun  partial shade

Green, herbaceous, and very large leafed, this energetic Ginseng relative brings bold architecture to the late season garden. Thick green stalks and arching pinnate greenery spring from a good-sized fleshy rootstock, and by autumn warm buttery yellow foliage and wine-streaked stems prevail.

Populating open, sputnik-like compound umbels, quantities of small, starry white flowers illuminate the verdant long-lived mass that furnishes excellent cover and lustrous purple-black berries for the birds. A denizen of California and Oregon, Elk Clover demands moist rich soils, and flourishes in a shady relaxed border, by pond side, or in a woodland garden.

Blooms August–mid-October.

Size: 6'–8-2/3' high x 6'–8-2/3' wide; hardy to zone 8.
