I found this beauty at Wal-Mart today, but there's no tag with it. I know I've seen this one before, but I can't find it in my books right now for some reason. Anyone know what this might be? Thanks!

I think it is a False Aralia (Schefflera elegantissima).

Did this used to be Dizygotheca? That's a pretty variegated one.

Thank you, senlarrs and kniphofia. I had a feeling it might be a False Aralia, but I've never seen this variegated variety before. All the other FA's I've seen have the dark, almost black leaves that are much narrow and longer.

Hi Char!

The WM here must have just gotten these new plants in because I was over there on Friday and didn't see any new plants then. They had these more ivies, and lots of hyacinths in full bloom that smelled so pretty! If those hadn't been in bloom, I would have gotten one of those too!

One more time, (False Aralia) Dizygotheca 'gold crest' from Exotic Angel Brand which I think supplies WM, HD, and Lowe. Did a 'google' on Dizygotheca.
