Plant Biography

Fatsia (Araliaceae) occurs in mountainous areas of Taiwan where it grows in open forest, only to about 6 or 7m tall. Its lobed leaves seen from underneath present attractive silhouettes against blue skies. The nomenclature for Fatsia is somewhat muddy, with various authors placing it in differing families over the decades.

In the UK garden it also makes for a perfect choice for pot or planter on the patio, so long as it is moved to a protected spot over winter.
