Flowering Schefflera

[Chester B]

Here’s my Schefflera delavayi that is now approaching small car size. It has 4 flower stalks this year and the leaves are close to 18” long. All the plant nerds in the PNW have them. I’ve seen a few others in private gardens this year. Hardier than Fatsias too.

This is one plant I have been hesitant to try because of our summers in northeast Florida.  Your plant convinced me to try it.  That's a great looking Schefflera.

You can certainly try but from my understanding they don't do well with the combo of heat and humidity, we have dry heat here and our nighttime temps fall into the 60's.  But it is definitely worth a shot planted in the shade, if you're able to find one.
