The detail
Loved for their large, hand-shaped leaves & dramatic form, these evergreen shrubs create instant impact in shaded gardens, patios & containers. Each variety offers its own distinctive character: Fatsia japonica brings glossy green tropical foliage; Spider’s Web dazzles with white-frosted variegation; and Camouflage glows with golden-yellow & cream marbling. Together, they add lushness & texture to outdoor spaces all year long. In autumn, rounded clusters of creamy-white flowers appear, followed by glossy black berries that attract wildlife & extend the season’s interest.
Each plant is supplied as a healthy, fresh & fully established 3L rootball in its nursery pot, grown in premium peat-free compost & hand-raised at our Yorkshire nursery. Larger & more developed than smaller starter plants, these Fatsias arrive garden-ready with strong roots & healthy foliage for quick establishment. Easy to grow, resilient & low-maintenance, they thrive in partial shade & require little more than the occasional trim. Perfect for beginners & seasoned gardeners alike, Fatsias bring tropical confidence & evergreen elegance to any setting.
