Tetrapanax papyrifer - rice paper plants are fantastic architectural shrubs. Huge green foliage that is lobed, new growth and undersides are covered in woolly hairs. 

They grow well in rich well-drained soil, winter protection is advised. Supposedly evergreen, but we have found it to be deciduous. Sometimes when you see the huge leaves battered by wind, being deciduous is not a bad thing. They gladly unfurl new leaves in spring. They look dramatic and are an exotic plant hunters' shrub, not for casual amateurs. 

Tetrapanax papyrifer produce creamy pompoms of flowers are produced in large sprays in autumn, followed by black fruit. Send in a picture if you ever see them. Can spread by suckering. They can reach upto 2m high.

Tetrapanax papyrifer, commonly known as the Rice Paper Plant, is an impressive deciduous shrub admired for its bold, architectural presence in the garden. Its large, deeply lobed leaves can reach up to 1 metre in width, creating a striking tropical feel. In autumn, the plant produces clusters of creamy white flowers, adding further interest to this unique plant. The Tetrapanax papyrifer adds texture and drama to any outdoor space, making it a standout choice for tropical-themed gardens or as a focal point in mixed borders.

Where to Position Your Tetrapanax Papyrifer

Tetrapanax papyrifer thrives best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil and can adapt to various soil conditions. This plant can tolerate dry conditions once established but benefits from regular watering, particularly during hot or dry periods. Its large leaves make it perfect for adding a bold statement to sheltered spots in the garden.

Growth and Maintenance

Reaching heights of 3-4 metres, the Rice Paper Plant is known for its fast growth and impressive size. To maintain its shape and promote healthy growth, prune any damaged or old leaves, particularly in spring. Though hardy, it's best to offer some protection during harsh winters, as the plant can suffer in prolonged cold spells. If damaged by frost, it will typically regrow from the base in warmer conditions.
