Description
Tetrapanax papyrifer ‘Rex’ is a visually stunning plant known for its oversized, deeply lobed, and leathery leaves that create a lush, tropical atmosphere in the garden. The large leaves can grow up to 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) across, providing dramatic texture and color. In late summer to fall, small clusters of creamy-white flowers emerge, followed by papery seed heads, though the plant is primarily prized for its showy foliage.
Preferring full sun to partial shade and consistently moist, well-drained soil, Tetrapanax papyrifer ‘Rex’ thrives in damp garden areas or shaded spaces where it can grow to its full height. Hardy in USDA zones 7-10, it requires minimal maintenance once established. Whether planted as a specimen plant, in a tropical garden, or as a backdrop to other plantings, Tetrapanax papyrifer ‘Rex’ adds a bold, architectural element and an exotic touch to the landscape.
