Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' | Variegated Japanese Aralia
DESCRIPTION
Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' is an evergreen shrub prized for its dramatic, tropical-looking foliage. Its large, lobed leaves are splashed with creamy white variegation, creating a bold contrast against the green. During autumn and early winter, the plant produces clusters of small, white flowers in rounded umbels, which are often followed by dark, berry-like fruits.
This variegated cultivar originates from Japan, where the species is native, and has been cultivated for its unique foliage and ornamental appeal. Adaptable and low-maintenance, 'Variegata' adds texture and brightness to shaded areas of the garden and is often used as a statement plant in borders, containers, or indoor displays.
