GoodHome Shrub

Product information

Fatsia is an extremely useful evergreen shrub that happily tolerates little or no direct sun, which already makes it a fantastic choice. However, combined with its gorgeous, large, fan-like leaves that give a lush tropical feel, it really is invaluable for adding style and interest to your garden all year round. Mature plants may produce stems of globular flower heads with tiny white flowers in autumn. It is ideal in a sheltered border and can be grown in containers

• Grows best in moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade; can tolerate full shade in Sunny or shady areas
• Any type of soil - Well drained
• Flowering period - Autumn
• Dig soil improver in to the soil. Dig a hole twice as big as the pot, remove the pot from the rootball and place in the hole, ensuring the top of the plant roots is level with the soil surface. Backfill soil around the roots and water well
• Regular feeding and an occasional trim to keep in shape
