Spider's Web Fatsia is a small exotic evergreen shrub with huge deeply-lobed palmate leaves that are a glossy dark green and gradually gains a showy white speckled variegation that reaches the center over three years. A late bloomer, Japanese Aralia has large clusters of creamy white flowers in umbels in fall that are followed by black fruits. Best shape in dappled sun and moist, well-drained soils.
