Description
With its large palmate leaves, at first sight one might assume that Spider’s Web Fatsia is a tropical plant. But it’s far from it. Fatsia is actually a quite cold hardy broadleaf evergreen shrub listed for outdoor growing in USDA Zones 8a and further south. Live and garden north of zone 8? You’ll be happy to know Fatsia can be grown in pots that can be brought indoors during the winter, or grown year round as an indoor house plant.
Spider’s Web Fatsia is unique from other varieties in that its large leaves appear as though they’ve been airbrushed and speckled with white paint, a characteristic that’s sure to light up shady areas in your landscape and gardens. Leaves emerge frosted white and gradually transition to green. The plant loves heat and humidity and stands up to the cold equally as well. When growing in the ground, Fatsia is hardy down to zero degrees!
For our customers living in coastal areas you’ll be happy to know this stunning beauty also tolerates salty air.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a mound 3 to 5 feet tall and equally as wide, Spider’s Web Fatsia 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 definitely brings a feel of the tropics to any garden. 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.
Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a, where this Fatsia variety 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/or late evening sun is okay. Constantly soggy soil or standing water is problematic, so plant in a well-drained site. No pruning necessary however a damaged leaf can be removed any time of year. Fatsia make great container plants and can be enjoyed indoors where not winter hardy.

Great plant, great packing, and great shipping! Spider’s Web Fatsia is doing well. Thanks!————————————-We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
I ordered the Fatsia ‘Spiderweb’ along with a tree, so I was a bit apprehensive regarding shipping. All for nothing, because both plants arrived in compartments within one box that suited each of them. This Fatsia was perfect, not one leaf was crimped. It was healthy and well-rooted and a very nice size. The soil was still slightly damp. I did give it a drink upon arrival & planted it next day, following included planting directions. It’s doing beautifully! In all my years of mail ordering plants, this was superior to the best of my prior experiences.———————————–WBG Reply: Hi Sandra, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Spider’s Web Fatsia. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I was looking for something different to fill an empty container and happened to stumble upon the Spider’s Web Fatsia. The plant that I received was extremely well packaged and in excellent condition. It looks perfect in its new home! Thank you! ——————– WBG Reply: Hi Beth – Glad you like the Spider’s Web Fatsia and hope you enjoy it for years to come. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can do for you.

I absolutely love my Spider’s Web Fatsia! It arrived in perfect condition and on time as well! To be honest I was a bit hesitant about ordering a live plant and fearing it would suffer damage en route but I was proven wrong. Thank you so much for your prompt service! ————————- WBG Reply: Hi Lynette – Years ago, when we were contemplating shipping our plants from Georgia to all over the country, we too had concerns about damages to plants during transit. It took a little while to perfect the packaging process but over time we’ve developed a packing method in which damages are a rarity….maybe 1 in 1,000 plants, if that. In the rare event a plant is damaged we replace it immediately. Thanks so much for your review of the Spider Web Fatsia plant…we hope you enjoy it for years to come. – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
Located this hard-to-find plant on the Wilson Bros. website, and placed my first ever order with this company. As a lifelong gardener, I have placed countless online orders, yet was extraordinarily pleased with the vigor, quality and beauty of this fatsia when it arrived in the mail. Wilson’s packaging is superb, and the plant looked like one just brought home from the nursery. It now enjoys a prominent spot in my Florida Z9B shade garden, and I think I’ve stumbled upon a great nursery from which I’d readily order again. ************** WBG Reply: Hi Cristina – Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review and for the compliments! It was our pleasure to serve you and we hope you enjoy the Spiders Web Fatsia for years to come. I certainly enjoy the one that’s been in my landscape for about three years. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. We’re at your service! – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
