X Fatshedera ‘Gold Heart’

This cultivar is a particularly nice example of this interesting and non-invasive hybrid between fatsia and hedera. Shared with us by East Coast plantsman Don Jacobs, it has evergreen foliage with a reliable, large, golden maple leaf pattern in the leaf center. Foliage burnishes red when temperatures fall to the 20s F or below. Plants have all the vigorous characteristics of x Fatshedera lizei ‘Aureovariegata’, scrambling and leaning to about 5 ft tall and 3 ft wide. Needs summer water in dry places and shade to part sun. Frost hardy well into USDA zone 7. Wonderful as a container plant.
