Aralia 'Sun King' A unique and colorful choice to light up the shade garden. Sun King emerges in mid-spring with bright gold leaves held on nicely contrasting reddish brown stems. A very welcome sight after a long winter. In heavy shade the color ranges from chartreuse to lime green. The plant quickly forms a large clump of foliage, and grows 3-4’ tall and wide.
White flowers are born in mid-late summer followed by black fruit. Attracts honey bees, butterflies, is deer resistant, and is very easy to care for. Dies back to the ground in late fall, so there is no trimming like you’d have to do to shrubs. Native of Japan.

My favorite garden center in the north woods. I have discovered several "new" plants at this greenhouse. Several years ago I picked up an Aralia 'Sun King' there but could not find it at my growers until just recently! http://wintergreenhouse.com

REAL Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. The photo is of the family matriarch with us. Look at these roses - I have never seen roses like these in America. They were at the home we visited in Modena, Italy where the family has been making Basalmic Vinegar for generations. The daughter of the family matriarch said they went to France to get these roses, which were taller than I was!

This is called the dragon canal at the Bardini Gardens in Florence, Italy, which was restured after archaeological excavations were conducted in the winter of 2000-2001.
