Fatsia japonica
Large palm-like, shiny leaves cover this tropical looking, evergreen shrub. Fantastic indoor plant and a super performer in the shade. In autumn expect small white flowers in round clusters, followed by black berrys.
Cultural
Best grown in part shade as prolonged direct sunlight can fade leaves. Will grow in nearly all soil types with good drainage. Frost hardy when established. Prune faded or damaged leaves from the base to manage growth and to retain the elegance of the form. Fresh growth will come up from the base. Feed with a liquid fertilizer monthly during growing season.
Landscape Uses
Striking foliage makes Fatsia japonica a focal point. Can be grown as a decorative backdrop to smaller plantings and works well in pots.
