Fatsia japonica (Japanese Aralia) 'Spider's Web'
A captivating evergreen shrub that elevates shady gardens with its extraordinary foliage, each broad, glossy leaf intricately speckled with creamy white variegation resembling delicate spider webs. The striking contrast between the dark green background and intricate pale markings creates year round visual interest, brightening even the darkest corners of the garden. Unlike standard green varieties, its unique foliage pattern adds a touch of the exotic to borders and containers, while still maintaining the species' renowned hardiness. In autumn, architectural white flower clusters emerge above the foliage, followed by ornamental black berries that attract wildlife. Particularly resilient in urban environments and coastal locations, this architectural shrub combines dramatic appearance with surprising toughness, making it ideal for adding tropical flair to contemporary and woodland gardens alike.
