This is a variegated form of the unique bigeneric hybrid between Japanese Aralia (Fatsia japonica) and English Ivy (Hedera helix var. hibernica). The original hybrid, found in a garden in Nantes, France in 1910 has green ivy like leaves that are usually 5 lobed and much larger than English Ivy but with the woody upright growth more typical with the Aralia. This plant can produce umbels of white sterile flowers but this is a rare occurrence. This beautiful selection has splashes of yellow in the foliage. Full sun to deep shade - foliage is best in light shade. Irrigate regularly to only occasionally. It is evergreen to around 20 F and stem hardy down to around 15 F (though some report it recovering from stems frozen at 0 F. Can be trained upright as a shrub or even small tree, espaliered against a wall or trained as a large vine, though it lacks the aerial roots that ivy uses to fasten itself to a surface.
