Aralia racemosa (Spikenard) matures to 4' in height and has green flowers and attractive reddish purple berries thereafter (not edible). Spikenard prefers wet to medium soil . It blooms approximately from July to August when many woodland plants have finished flowering.
Spikenard can be difficult to move once the plant is established, so put it in its permanent site if you can. It is a taller, wider woodland plant so be cautious if planting next to smaller plants; it may soon overwhelm them.
Also called American Spikenard, it is a close relative of Wild Sarsaparilla.
