Fatsia japonica ‘Spider’s Web’ – 2Ltr Pot

Fatsia japonica ‘Spider’s Web’ is an exotic-looking evergreen shrub with large, deeply lobed leaves patterned with white variegation. Ideal for shaded gardens, it provides year-round foliage interest, complemented by small white flowers in autumn.

Key Features

  • Year-round evergreen foliage adds lasting structure and interest.

  • Distinctive white variegation brings light and contrast to shaded borders.

  • Large, deeply lobed leaves create a bold, tropical appearance.

  • Thrives in full shade, making it useful for sheltered, shady spaces.

  • Autumn flowers provide extra seasonal interest, followed by ornamental black berries.

  • Reaches approximately 2.5m tall, creating an impressive foliage focal point.

Product Description

Fatsia japonica ‘Spider’s Web’, commonly known as variegated Japanese aralia, brings striking foliage to shaded planting schemes. Its broad leaves feature irregular white markings resembling a web, often concentrated around the margins. The amount of variegation varies, with some leaves developing extensive white colouring.

This evergreen shrub offers a strong architectural shape, making it an attractive focal point in sheltered borders or woodland-style gardens. Its patterned foliage contrasts beautifully with ferns and other shade-loving plants, helping to brighten darker corners throughout the year.

Although primarily grown for its leaves, ‘Spider’s Web’ also produces rounded clusters of small white flowers during autumn. These are followed by inedible black berries that can remain into winter. It favours full shade but tolerates partial sun, with growth and eventual size depending on its position and growing conditions.
