This Japanese selection of the popular, deep shade-loving southern landscape shrub, Fatsia japonica, is prized by the few folks who have had the rare opportunity to own one. The shiny green palmate leaves, like a super-sized schefflera, are each bordered with a heavy white speckling that often finds its way into the center of the leaf. It takes about 3 years for it to show the wonderful mature characteristics, so be patient. For those who garden in the arctic zones north of Zone 7, Fatsia 'Spider's Web' makes a superb houseplant.
