Schefflera

Anyone growing these?
Which one is the hardiest?

 

I have a S rhodanthifola (spelling ?)

I have had it for 2 winters, and so far, it seems ok.

 

I have a bog-standard pot plant one -sorry, don't know the Latin name- which has survived two winters in a leaky unheated greenhouse.

 

The hardiest might be Schefflera taiwaniana, at least Ive heard that to be the case.

Madahhlia - Schefflera arboricola, a very tough plant indeed.

 

Schefflera rhododendrifolia I have one of those (came from Duchy or Cornwall nursery - good looking plant

S. taiwaniana & S. rhododendrifolia regarded as the least tender (rather than being rock-hardy) I think?

But people I know have lost both in cold winters ...

 

Just checked out the rhododendrifolia out from duchy very nice looking plant

Evening all can I pick you brains people
I got (resuced ) this schefflera from aldi this afternoon
Could anyone identify it?

 

Looks like the houseplant one, which is not very hardy? having said that I keep mine in my frost free conservatory, over winter, and outside in a shaded part of the garden in Summer.

 

Lol , Mogwley that`s a Shefflera arboricola , no frost resistend but will tollerate -4c , overall seen many of them all over London ..... I would love to buy a taiwanian for my new garden , finger cross that should be a garden show near by and Crug farm shold be there
