Latin Name:  Aralia nudicaulis
Common Name:  Wild sarsaparilla
Family:  Araliaceae
Author:  L.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  0.4   Mature Width:  0.3

Habitat:  Moist, shady, rocky woods[4, 21].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a good deep loam and a semi-shady position[1, 134]. Requires a sheltered position[1]. Plants are hardier when grown in poorer soils[200]. The young growth in spring, even on mature plants, is frost-tender and so it is best to grow the plants in a position sheltered from the early morning sun[K].
