Evergreen shrub Fatsia japonica grows quickly and reaches a height of 3.5 metres. It may be grown indoors or out and is grown for its massive, eye-catching, glossy green foliage. In the autumn, tall stalks with clusters of white blooms and black berries develop. Use inside, in containers, courtyards, and for gloomy tropical gardens as a wonderfully unusual architectural plant. It's okay in almost full sun, but it's best to stay in shaded areas with protection from the intense noon heat and dry breezes. tolerant to air pollution and salt spray. can spread too far and get too big by sucking from the base. If growing too huge, prune in the spring.
The Japanese aralia is an ideal plant for a beginner or easy-going plant to add to your collection.
