Fatsia japonica HARDY JAPANESE ARALIA Seeds

The Japanese Fatsi is an evergreen shrub native to Japan. It has huge glossy 12 - 16" wide tropical-looking leaves. Perched on top of upright stems, each leaf has 8 deep lobes. In old Japanese, fatsia meant eight, hence the name.

These plants are very ornamental! On top of the wonderful foliage, they also have ringed trunks & lovely clusters of white flowers in round balls. Bees & butterflies enjoy the flowers, & birds love to eat the showy ornamental berries later in the season.

The Fatsia doesn’t mind being pruned to a smaller size, so can be grown in containers & they make a wonderful houseplant or bonsai tree.
