- Foliage: Large, glossy-green palmate leaves with about nine leaflets that taper to a point. A defining feature of this cultivar is its striking yellow midribs and stems.
- New Growth: Young leaves emerge with a fine silvery coating that disappears as they mature.
- Hardiness: It is remarkably hardy for a Schefflera, often cited as surviving temperatures down to -10°C to -15°C once established. However, young plants are more vulnerable and may need protection from severe frosts and cold, drying winds.
- Growth Habit: An evergreen shrub or small tree that can reach 2–4 metres in height. It can be pruned to encourage a multi-stemmed, bushy appearance or allowed to grow into a more tree-like structure.
