Aralia cordata 'Sun King'

I would like to try to collect some to see if I can grow them.

Gorgeous shot!

The arelia's berries are starting to mature. I wonder if the birds will eat them.

Could be frost tonight. I wonder if I'll loose the berries before they develope

I tried to get a macro shot of this wasp. It was just too petite for the cell phone to focus on. #closeup #shadegarden #victorygarden #communitygarden #fenway #fenwayvictorygardens #urbangardening

I've seen a variety of small insects foraging on the Aralia cordata 'Sun King'. None of them appear to be causing damage. #closeup #macro #shadegarden #victorygarden #communitygarden #fenway #fenwayvictorygardens #urbangardening

Great pic 😀🌿👍📷

I thought the flowers on Aralia cordata 'Sun King' were going to be boring. I was wrong. The white flowers & red stems contrast nicely against the foliage. Strobilanthes 'Persian Shield' still looks great also #victorygarden #communitygarden #shadegarden #fenway #boston #fenwayvictorygardens #urbangarden

I captured a #honeybee buzzing by while photographing Sun King

Nice photo.

Sun King in blossom. Not a flamboyant flower but I do like the structure & the red tint to stems. It's suppose to get (non-edible) berries next

Another view of Sun King with Pearson Shield

I've spotted a couple flower buds on the aralia. It's suppose to get (inedible) berries

Aralia cordata 'Sun King' with Strobilanthes 'Persian Shield' has been a great combination all summer. I'm going to use it again next year

What electrifying contrast. Love it!

'Sun King' living up to it's name. #victorygarden #communitygarden #shadegarden #fenway #boston #fenwayvictorygardens #urbangarden

My Sun King arelia is getting big. I'm going to have to move some plants next year.

Aralia cordata 'Sun King' (Sun King Spikenard) Has kept it's color and has doubled in size since planting it last month. It's supposed to get about 72" tall
