Fatsia japonica (Japanese Aralia)

The Fatsia japonica is an evergreen plant, defined by its broad, glossy, hand-shaped foliage that creates an architectural presence year-round. Suited to shaded courtyards, underplanting, and sheltered garden settings, it offers bold structure in low-light settings. Through autumn, it produces delicate clusters of creamy-white flowers, often followed by ornamental black berries, adding subtle seasonal interest. Its sculptural form also makes it a refined choice for large containers or as an indoor feature in bright, indirect light.
