Fatsia japonica 'Tsumugi-shibori'
Japanese aralia ( syn. Fatsia Spider's Web)
This new fatsia is primarily grown for its handsome foliage, which looks as though it has been variously dusted with icing sugar - with some leaves having had a more generous dusting than others! It makes a wonderful specimen, particularly when planted near white-flowering plants that complement the leaf variegations. It can also be used to help add light and colour to areas of lightly dappled shade.
How to care for Fatsia japonica Tsumugi-shibori:
Prune lightly in mid to late spring, trimming shoots that spoil the symmetry. Protect plants from cold, drying winds either by moving to a sheltered spot if in a pot or cover with horticultural fleece.
