Fatsia, or Japanese Aralia, is a striking evergreen shrub known for its large, glossy, palmate leaves that create an instantly tropical effect. These dramatic, dark green leaves provide a bold architectural feature in shaded borders, urban gardens, or courtyards. In autumn, Fatsia produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers, often followed by black berries, adding a subtle yet interesting seasonal display. With its dense growth habit and lush foliage, Fatsia makes a fantastic background plant, a standout specimen, or even a container plant for shady patios.

Highly adaptable, Fatsia tolerates pollution, shade, and a variety of soil conditions. It is often used to brighten up dark corners of the garden, and its easy-care nature has made it a favourite for both experienced and novice gardeners.
