Description

Bring the look of the tropics to the shady spots in your landscape with this cold hardy, evergreen tropical shrub we call Fatsia…what others might call Japanese Aralia or Glossy Paper Plant. This large, cold hardy tropical shrub with large, bold and glossy leaves can be grown outdoors year round as far north as USDA Zone 8a (maybe 7b?). In Zones north of 8a it can be grown in a large container that can be brought indoors during the coldest part of winter, or you can grow it year round as a house plant. In our north-central location it remains evergreen throughout the winter. If temperatures drop to 0 to 10 degrees F the foliage may die back to the ground but new growth reliably emerges in spring. Unique, rounded clusters of creamy white flowers appear in fall persisting into winter, adding even more delightful interest to the landscape. It tolerates salty air, heat, and humidity extremely well.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a large mound 5 to 8 feet tall and equally as wide, Fatsia japonica is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a natural low hedge in shady to partially shaded home foundation plantings, landscape borders and garden beds. In home foundation plantings, it does best on the east side of the home, which receives the morning sun but shade in the afternoon. Very nice around garden ponds and in tropical-look gardens. Fatsia also makes a great container plant for use outdoors or as a year round houseplant. For those who live and garden north of USDA Zone 8a, containers can be overwintered indoors.

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a, where this Fatsia is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Fatsia are exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade to shade. Avoid direct afternoon sun. Morning and late evening sun is okay. Constantly soggy soil or standing water is problematic, so plant in a well-drained site. Fatsia make great container plants and can be enjoyed indoors where not winter hardy.

Great plants and great nursery. I’ll be back for more plants again soon!——————————Thanks for the kind words! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

I originally placed an order in the middle of summer, shortly before a particularly bad heat wave. The plant didn’t survive the trip and Wilson Bros quickly agreed to send a replacement when shipping conditions would be better. The second plant arrived in early fall and reached me in very good condition. Their packaging is quite secure, and I am pleased to have a beautiful Japanese Aralia (it’s a good deal larger than most houseplants I see in gardening stores, too). I will absolutely purchase from them again in the future and recommend them as a good source for healthy (and hard-to-find) plants.——————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Extremely easy dealing with the nursery. I had a question before purchasing. The person who answered the phone said she would check with someone more knowledgeable about this specific plant. The answer to my question was timely and thoughtful. The plants arrived soon after the order was placed and they are excellent specimens. Putting Wilson Bros Gardens at top of “go to” list for plants!———————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

This plant is BIG! Their “gallon” is extremely generous compared to your local garden center. My one gallon plant fits just barely into an 8-inch pot and is nearly two feet tall and broad.: it’ll need up-potting soon. Came glossy and healthy–with a bit of bedhead from the box, one broken leaf, and one leaf taped into the packaging. Packaged extremely well. I was impressed by every part of this plant and will definitely be returning to Wilson Bros in the future.———————-Thanks for the kind words! Beth WBG
