The Fatsia japonica is a plant that is both extraordinary and versatile. Originally from Japan, it thrives not only in Asian-themed gardens but also in modern garden designs worldwide. In Hamburg’s Botanical Garden, it is showcased as part of the Asia Garden, proving that it can adapt beautifully to our local climate.
Fatsia japonica stays green year-round and boasts an impressive feature: it blooms in December. Its delicate, fragrant flowers are not just a visual treat but also provide bees with valuable nectar on warmer winter days. Even in the cooler months, this plant brings life and structure to any garden.
Despite its exotic appearance, the Fatsia japonica is remarkably resilient. It tolerates pruning with ease and regenerates vigorously. This makes it an excellent choice for courtyards in Spain or Italy, where we often use it, as well as for northern European gardens.
Approximately 75% of plants in German gardens originate from other parts of the world. As long as these exotics are not invasive, they can enrich local gardens. Fatsia japonica is a perfect example, blending harmoniously into its surroundings without displacing native plants.
