Unique freckled and frosted foliage topped with white flowers and black fruitA variegated form of a popular evergreen shrub, Fatsia 'Spiders Web' is perfect for adding brightness and detail to a shaded corner, shrub border, courtyard, or large container displays. The huge, architectural leaves for which fatsia is so valued are, in this case, speckled heavily with white. These markings occur around the edges and spread inwards to varying degrees, with some leaves being almost completely white. In autumn, small, creamy flowers are borne in compact globes, followed, in winter, by clusters of black, spherical fruits. This fatsia is tough and resilient, tolerant of both coastal exposure and urban pollution. Prefers fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or light dappled shade. H&S: 2.5m. Despite its lush, tropical appearance, Fatsia japonica is hardy to -10 C, provided it is sheltered from cold, drying winds.
