Aralia cordata 'Sun King'

This deciduous perennial offers huge, compound foliage with leaflets to six inches, chartreuse-yellow in color, shading to pale lime, in contrast to its red-brown stems. A striking foliage plant for a cool, moist and shaded position rich loam. In late summer, tiny white flowers on radiating stems appear, followed by small purple (inedible) berries. Foliage and stems disappear for winter.
