Fatsia japonica ‘Spider’s Web’ (Japanese Aralia) is a bushy, evergreen shrub prized for its lush foliage of broad, palmate, dark-green leaves heavily-speckled with white. The variegation changes with the seasons and as the plant ages. In the fall, terminal clusters of white flowers are on display. They give way to ornamental, glossy, black berries. A desirable evergreen shrub adding bold texture and drama to containers and mixed borders.

  • Grows up to 4-5 ft. tall (120-150 cm) and 3-4 ft. wide (90-120 cm).
  • A part shade to full shade lover, this plant is easily grown in moist, well-drained soils. Protect from cold drying winds.
  • Perfect as a specimen plant, for beds and borders or containers.
  • Low maintenance, this plant is generally disease free. Keep an eye out for scale insects and mealybugs.
  • Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings.
