{"product_id":"heptapleurum-delavayi","title":"Heptapleurum delavayi","description":"\u003cp\u003e(aka: Schefflera delavayi) You know the tropical houseplant, but how about a schefflera that is hardy outdoors...at least from Zone 7b south? We have grown this little known Chinese Heptapleurum delavayi since 2003 and have had it survive 8 degrees F with no protection. Like a rhododendron, which curls its leaves in winter to protect from cold temperature desiccation, Heptapleurum delavayi employs the same technique. On the East Coast, expect a 10-year-old specimen to reach 6' tall, although they grow much faster in the Pacific Northwest. The glossy, dark green, compound leaves form an umbrella-like canopy at the top of the trunk, which is adorned in October with 3' long, lax sprays of tiny white flowers, which attract an array of pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21027304261,"sku":"6313","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Heptapleurum-delavayi.i-6313.s-68643.r-1.jpg?v=1790017611","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/products\/heptapleurum-delavayi","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
