Tetrapanax papyrifera (Rice Paper Plant)

Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7b-10 80" tall Origin: Taiwan

Open House/Web-Only! This amazing tropical-looking favorite is grown as a dieback perennial from Zone 8 north, and as a shrub from Zone 8 south. The fast-growing, thick, fuzzy, upright stems are clothed with large, equally fuzzy, green castor bean-like leaves emerging from an underground rhizome. Rice paper plant will spread underground in good soils, so don't plant it near small defenseless plants. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
