Plant of the month
Each month we showcase a plant from the gardens.
Fatsia Japonica
Fatsia japonica has so many star qualities that it is not surprising that it holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. It is evergreen, remaining handsome year round, and its huge glossy leaves impart a bold and exotic look to a tropical bed. It is valuable too as a landscaping plant for very shady sites, as well as windy seaside ones. Not many plants are ornamental in so many situations.
