MBN 5Gal Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web'

'Spider's Web' -a really nice collector's form of variegation, easily recognized by the frenetic, finely detailed white lining that edges, spots, and streaks the leaves under high-light conditions. Evergreen, and slow to get going, with a mostly-columnar habit when young. Smaller and much slower than regular green seedlings, reaching perhaps 4-5' tall and a couple of feet wide in a reasonable amount of time, then clustering and spreading its crown of leaves and branches slowly. See comments on shade tolerant for the species, above. Under very dark conditions the variegation will be minimal to completely lacking. Just as drought tolerant when established as the parent species when established, tolerating average down to very infrequent watering. It is also just as tolerant of container culture, and will make a wonderful, featured, bragging-rights specimen for your patio, porch or entryway. You will definitely see this one brighten a moderately shady spot! Try it as a houseplant too, again with at least some sun to preserve that variegation. Burns in full, hottest sun in warmest areas (Southern California, Central Valley, or anywhere with reflected light). USDA zone 7/Sunset 4-9, 13-24. rev 8/2020
