Japanese Aralia. Fatsia Japonica. castor oil plant, fig-leaf palm, glossy-leaved paper plant. Fatsia's are evergreen shrubs with stout, sparsely branched stems bearing large, leathery, palmately lobed leaves to 45cm and small white flowers in terminal compound umbels, followed by small black fruits. Despite a tender appearance, this tropical-looking, evergreen shrub is as tough as old boots once established. Gorgeously glossy, deep green palmate leaves.
In autumn, creamy white flowers are produced in large panicles, which are often followed by round, black fruit.
It makes a superb feature in an exotic-style garden, where the large leaves team well with bamboos!
