Fatsia 'Japonica'

• Botanical Name: Fatsia japonica

• Common Name(s): Japanese Aralia
  

• Description: Fatsia japonica, commonly called Japanese aralia, is native to Japan. It is an evergreen shrub or small tree that typically grows to 16’ tall in its native habitat. Plants must be grown indoors in St. Louis where they more typically grow to 6’ tall. This is an attractive foliage plant noted for its palmately lobed glossy dark green leaves (to 16” wide) that typically have 7-9 deep lobes.

Step into a realm where verdant tranquility meets the exquisite artistry of nature’s own design with the Fatsia Japonica—commonly heralded as the Japanese Aralia. This botanical marvel, hailing from the lush forests of Japan, is more than just an evergreen; it's a living sculpture that weaves an aura of elegance wherever it resides. With glossy dark green leaves, palmately lobed and reaching up to 16 inches in breadth, each leaf unfolds like an open hand—a symbol of welcome in any home. Imagine then, amid your daily grind—a quiet corner by a sun-dappled window becomes a sanctuary filled with this shrub's serene presence. As it stands gracefully at 6 feet tall indoors—a stature much humbler than its native potential—the aralia endows your personal space with clean air and requires minimal care from you. Now picture yourself on those brisk winter evenings when everything feels drearily still; there before you is this radiant foliage plant casting its lustrous sheen against the faint light—it’s not merely surviving but thriving despite such low illumination conditions. What's more captivating about our Fatsia 'Japonica' is that amidst thousands of flora species found indoors across St. Louis homes, researchers have discerned only these specimens whispering ancient bedtime stories from their homeland during midnight hours to kindle dreams filled with quaint village scenes beneath Mount Fuji. Why would one yearn for such rare beauty? Perhaps because within every expanse of its broad leaves lies a reminder—one does not need vast gardens or grand patios to touch what's ethereal and pure. For those seeking respite from life’s incessancies through subtle forms and resilient character—or maybe looking to weave some botanical mystique around their modern dwelling—the Japanese Aralia beckons as both guardian and gem among tropical indoor plants
