Aralia californica

Identification

Genus: Aralia Species: californica Variety: None Cultivar: None
Common names: California Spikenard and Elk Clover.
 

Description

Elk Clover is our native relative to Ivy. Both are in the Ginseng family, But Aralia californica has medicinal uses as a tonic. In your yard it has a wonderful use, it grows in heavy shade as long as there is some moisture. That stupid 'large' entry that the Realtor sold you as a feature, with the heavy shade and the moss covered ground. Aralia can grow there! Native from Palomar Mountain up into central Oregon, mostly along the coast, but also in the northern Sierras from 100-2500 feet in elevation.
