SCHEFFLERA 'Winter Jungle'

SCHEFFLERA ‘Winter Jungle’ is an evergreen shrub valued for its bold, palmately divided green foliage that lends a lush, exotic look throughout the year. For Irish gardens, plant in a fertile, humus-rich, moist but well‑drained soil, in sun or light shade, and provide shelter from cold or drying winds. Ideal as a striking specimen or as part of an exotic or woodland-style scheme, and suitable for large containers with good drainage. Maintenance is minimal: remove any weather-scorched leaves in spring and mulch annually to conserve soil moisture and support steady growth.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
