  • Though relatively new in cultivation, Schefflera have been growing in the subtropical forest garden at Abbotsbury for decades. These exotic shrubs, often originating from mountainous regions, have been thriving in the gardens warm coastal woodland microclimate. Schefflera plants are loved for their tropical looking palmately divided leaves, making them a highly desirable plant for gardeners looking to recreate a tropical aesthetic in their own garden. Though many Schefflera species are too tender to be grown outdoors in climates such as the UK, there have been a number of forms discovered that thrive in cooler climates.
    Abbotsbury subtropical gardens curator, David Pearce, shows us some of the incredible Schefflera growing in this UK tropical style garden. The specimens are some of the largest we have seen in cultivation in the UK, with species that are brand new to the Grow Paradise channel.

    I was nevee full certain of the relationship between collection numbers, cultivars and named cultivars so that was very interesting. I have to adjust my expectations with hiw quickly plants will nature in my garden which is only a couple of years old, compared to the decades of ideal conditions at Abbotsbury. Great to see though.

    I loved this well presented video full of interesting information. I'm glad not to be the only one struggling with Schefflera propagation. What's the chance of getting Shaun to share some of his tips? It would make a wonderful part 2!! Please🙏

    Very interesting video and very professionally done! Thank you!
    Would love to see something about more costal (sub)-tropical gardens! I live right next to the sea with a sloping garden facing north-west and I'm looking for plants that are or looks tropical, but will grow in such windy and salty conditions.

    Great video. I’ve grown 2 Schefflera Rhododendrifolias for many years now in my north Cambridgeshire garden which have got through some pretty harsh winters and been fine. In last winters harsh winter the more exposed one took a bit of leaf damage on the upper most leaves but this just caused the plant to create lots of side shoots lower downso it’s a pretty hardy Schefflera.
