Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web'®
- Few plants command attention quite like this fatsia, boasting large, exotic-looking palmate evergreen leaves featuring a striking, heavy white speckling. This phenomenal feature transforms any well-planned garden scheme.
- The growth pattern of this fatsia is wonderfully bold, architectural, and beautifully rounded growth habit. This is perfectly enhanced by its globe-like clusters of white flowers in late autumn, followed by spherical black berries.
- You will find Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web' incredibly easy to establish in a sheltered, partially shaded area in moist, well-drained soil away from harsh drying winds. You will be delighted to find it is remarkably undemanding and settles in quickly.
- It actively encourages a healthy, biodiverse environment for late-season pollinators that rely on the vital autumn nectar all year round. It provides a spectacular, dramatic, and surprisingly low-maintenance architectural statement for urban courtyards.
- The fatsia family holds a wonderful secret: the name fatsia comes directly from the old Japanese word 'fatsi', which translates to the number eight. This is a literal reference to the striking, deeply lobed leaves that frequently feature eight distinct points.
