Fatsia brings a bold, tropical look to shady areas with its large, glossy, deeply lobed green leaves. This evergreen shrub is an excellent choice for covered patios, shaded foundations, woodland-style gardens, and other areas where many flowering shrubs struggle. Its dramatic foliage adds year-round texture and works especially well in North Florida landscapes when protected from harsh afternoon sun and strong winds.

North Florida Growing Note

Fatsia is well suited to shaded landscapes in North Florida and the Florida Panhandle. For the best foliage, plant it where it receives morning sun, filtered light, or full shade. Avoid hot afternoon sun and exposed, windy locations, which can damage or brown the large leaves.

Why We Like Fatsia

Fatsia is one of our favorite plants for bringing a tropical feel into a shady garden. Its oversized leaves stand out beautifully beside azaleas, gardenias, ferns, cast iron plants, hostas, and other shade-loving plants.
