Fatsia Japonica. Japanese Aralia.

The Fatsia Japonica is quite an exotic looking evergreen shrub with beautiful large palmately lobed leaves, glossy dark green in colour and between 6-16 inches across. In Autumn clusters of small delicate white flowers are produced followed by small black fruit.

Tolerant of coastal exposure, urban pollution and low light levels. Frost hardy down to around -10 degrees. this plant will recover well even if touched by freezing weather. Can grow up to 4m so this is a great plant for bringing a tropical effect to a border or indeed as a stand alone specimen in a decorative pot also.
