Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' (Variegated Japanese Aralia) - This is an evergreen perennial with a tropical look. Thick, erect stems support huge dark palmate leaves smudged with cream and light green. Roundish clusters of small cream flowers appear in the fall. It can grow to about 6-10 ft. tall. It is frost hardy and does well in the shade with moderate watering. This slow growing plant has been known to self-sow and sucker but we have not seen evidence of this in our garden. Benefits from fertilizers that include iron. A showstopper in the garden and a great way to brighten a dark corner.
The information on this page is based on our research that has been conducted in our nursery library and from online sources as well as from observations made of this plant as it grows in the nursery, in the nursery's garden, and in other gardens where it has been observed. We also incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have additional information, particularly if this information is contrary to what we have written or includes additional cultural tips that might aid others in growing Fatsia japonica 'Variegata'.
