This has been on my "to buy when I figure out a spot" list. I just thought of a perfect place for one, but am wondering how these have grown for those of you who've had it for a few years,

Rouge21, I think you bought a few last year or the year before...did they survive the brutal winter OK? Are you happy with them?

Others?

i am z7a but after the tops die down i put 2 or 3 inches of mulch on and they come through fine-do like a protected position in part shade-heavier mulching would probably bring the aralia through for you

'ruth', you might have seen my (too) many posts extolling the virtues of this shade plant. I love it.

I have 3 plants at different locations on our property and all 3 easily made it through this past brutal winter. I am confident it could be hardy to a USA zone 3.

(Here is one of them from late last August)

Beautiful! Thanks for the follow up.

Yeah, this really is a great plant and reliably hardy. I don't winter protect.

Rouge, is that 'Bobo' next to it? I think you had posted pics of that hydrangea and I picked one up last year. Still in a holding bed, but if that's what you have next to the aralia, I think I might now know where to put it!

Yes that's "Bobo".

(But just to let you know ASK in this picture is in a much shadier somewhat drier location than B as it is directly under the roof eave which you cannot see).
