Description

Tetrapanax papyrifer 'Rex' is a striking perennial admired for its large, tropical-style leaves that add a bold architectural feature to garden borders or containers. Its impressive foliage offers an exotic look even in temperate gardens.
It prefers a sheltered position in full sun or part shade with moist, well-drained soil. The growth rate is fast under the right conditions, though it is best treated as half hardy in colder climates and may require protection during winter.
