Description
Bring the look of the tropics to the shady spots in your landscape with this cold hardy, evergreen tropical shrub we call Fatsia…what others might call Japanese Aralia or Glossy Paper Plant. This large, cold hardy tropical shrub with large, bold and glossy leaves can be grown outdoors year round as far north as USDA Zone 8a (maybe 7b?). In Zones north of 8a it can be grown in a large container that can be brought indoors during the coldest part of winter, or you can grow it year round as a house plant. In our north-central location it remains evergreen throughout the winter. If temperatures drop to 0 to 10 degrees F the foliage may die back to the ground but new growth reliably emerges in spring. Unique, rounded clusters of creamy white flowers appear in fall persisting into winter, adding even more delightful interest to the landscape. It tolerates salty air, heat, and humidity extremely well.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a large mound 5 to 8 feet tall and equally as wide, Fatsia japonica is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a natural low hedge in shady to partially shaded home foundation plantings, landscape borders and garden beds. In home foundation plantings, it does best on the east side of the home, which receives the morning sun but shade in the afternoon. Very nice around garden ponds and in tropical-look gardens. Fatsia also makes a great container plant for use outdoors or as a year round houseplant. For those who live and garden north of USDA Zone 8a, containers can be overwintered indoors.
Note:Â Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a, where this Fatsia is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Fatsia are exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade to shade. Avoid direct afternoon sun. Morning and late evening sun is okay. Constantly soggy soil or standing water is problematic, so plant in a well-drained site. Fatsia make great container plants and can be enjoyed indoors where not winter hardy.

Due to the hard freeze and ice we had in February, it has been really difficult to find plants locally, so I looked on the internet. Wilson Brothers ships quickly, the plants arrive in great shape and I love the way my aralia looks in my courtyard area.————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I originally ordered 5 of the large size of the Japonica. I received a personal email from the companies customer service department apologizing that they only actually had four in stock. She also was proactive in letting me know when they expected the next shipment in. She laid out my options and asked me how I wanted to proceed and it was just great service. The plants arrived in EXCELLENT condition! Large and bountiful with giant healthy green leaves. I was not able to get them in the ground for almost two weeks after they came and they were healthy enough to survive that period as long as I watered them from time to time. I would not hesitate to order more live plants and trees from this company in the future!—————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks so much for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
This was my first purchase from Wilson Brothers and I am very impressed! The plant arrived quickly and in beautiful shape. I have never received a mail order plant that arrived looking like it is one that I would have selected at a nursery. I usually have to work to get plants look good after receiving them. This fatsia is healthy and so beautiful! I used to live in Florida and I could easily find them for purchase there. I now live in Oklahoma and have never seen here. I’m so excited to have one again. It is one of my favorite plants. Thank you so much for sending me such a high quality fatsia!———————————Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
