Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' (Variegated Japanese Aralia)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 7b-10 48" tall Origin: Japan

Web-Only! After 15 years of fruitless searching, the late JC Raulston managed to locate Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' on a trip to the UK. After JC shared a rooted cutting with us, I dared to plant my new-found treasure outdoors for hardiness testing. Surprisingly, it proved to be much more hardy than the common green form. Finally, we have enough to share with others who also have this on their "lust list." Each woody clump to 4' tall x 4' wide in 10 years is composed of large, tropical-looking, evergreen leaves edged with an uneven white border coming from a central woody trunk. In a woodland garden, Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' makes a stunning centerpiece for year round interest. From Zone 7a and north...what a nice houseplant! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
