Expert Tip

Care & Size Guidance
Fatsia japonica has particularly low maintenance requirements. It’s easy to care for planted in either full sun or part shade, and prefers a somewhat sheltered location.
The ‘Spiders Web’ cultivar is slower growing than the straight species, and grows to a slightly smaller ultimate size.
