Fatsia japonica (the Umbrella Plant), expert advice on general care, pests and diseases, where and when to plant, how to prune.
Fatsia Japonica (Japanese Aralia) evergreen shrub, stout stems, deeply lobed leaves, thick umbels of small, white-colored, non-showy flowers. [DETAILS]
Last weeks favorite plant, Callistemon ‘clemson,’ garnered a few comments from folks who find Callistemon rather common (a geographical thing). Well it doesn’t get much more common, at least here in western Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, than the Fatsia japonica… But anyone who dismisses this plant is missing out on so much…who doesn’t need a reliable easygoing evergreen in the landscape? Plus when it’s blooming, as it is right now, this is the most popular plant in the garden with the birds. Every morning for the last couple of weeks the birds and the bees are my entertainment while I eat my breakfast. There is even a hummingbird that pays regular visits throughout the day... This was one of the first plants I planted in my garden, 7 years ago. The tiny 1-gallon bought at Home Depot (yep, it doesn't get any more common than that) has performed, the stats: Eventual size: size 6-10 ft tall and wide Hardy in USDA Zones 8a - 11 It prefers shade but mine is planted where it gets full sun most of the day, this results in leaves that are a little less dark than some people like. So I’m curious what plant, often dismissed as common (and you must tilt your head back and look slightly put out when you say that word “common”) is one of your garden favorites?
Hint: It's all about choosing the right plant for the right environment.

Fatsia japonica on First Hill in Seattle in September 2013 Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' in the Alphabet District in Portland Fastia japonica at the Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland Fatisa Japonica in the Pearl District in Portland. The 3 photos above were taken in October 2014. Fatsia japonica is a big & beautiful evergreen shrub, with large & distinctive, palmate leaves. Interesting flowers, carried on broad panicles, resemble an explosion of golf balls. Fruits are black. As you would expect, Fatsia japonica is native to Japan & also Korea. It is often grown in pots placed near entries to buildings, or on shaded patios, where there is enough room. The size of the plant is limited by the size of the pot, but expect it to reach at least 5 feet tall & almost as wide. Fatsia japonica can reach 20 feet in the ground. It is an excellent plant for a large shade garden, lovely against the bare trunks of tall trees. Fatsia japonica comes in variegated forms such as Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' & Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web'. Too much sun will cause leaves to turn yellow. Click here for more Japanese plants.

De vingerplant heet officieel Fatsia japonica, deze soort kun je als kamerplant en als tuinplant houden. Het grote blad van de Fatsia heeft wel wat weg van een hand met vingers, daarom wordt deze plant vingerplant of Japanse vingerplant genoemd. Het stevige blad is indrukwekkend groot, prachtig frisgroen en glanzend. Deze stoere groene kamerplant zorgt direct voor een exotische sfeer in je huiskamer. De Fatsia japonica heeft effen groen blad, er zijn ook vormen met witbont blad. Het grote blad werkt luchtzuiverend, zo draagt een vingerplant bij aan een gezond binnenklimaat.
Fatsia japonica groeit van oorsprong in Japan, zoals de tweede naam al verklapt. Je kunt hem daar tegen komen in de exotische bossen, samen met nog twee andere soorten. Fatsia hoort bij de familie van de Araliaceae, net als de klimop. Dat is duidelijk te zien want het blad lijkt op klimopblad. Alleen is het groter en meer ingesneden, zodat er meer ‘vingers’ ontstaan. Ook de bloemen en bessen van de vingerplant lijken op die van de klimop.
Perfect for cooler rooms or unheated conservatories
Landscaper John Couch has created a tropical garden in Melbourne's south east by mimicking a tropical rainforest setting with its own microclimate.
