FATSIA jap. 'Spider's Web'

Fatsia japonica ‘Spider’s Web’ is an evergreen shrub prized for its bold, hand-shaped leaves intricately dusted and edged with white variegation, bringing brightness and strong architectural form to shaded areas. Small white flowers are produced in autumn. Grow in a sheltered position in partial shade to shade, in moist but well‑drained, moderately fertile soil; protect from cold, drying winds in Irish gardens.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
