This new fatsia is primarily grown for its handsome foliage, which looks as though it has been variously dusted with icing sugar - with some leaves having had a more generous dusting than others! It makes a wonderful specimen, particularly when planted near white-flowering plants that complement the leaf variegations. It can also be used to help add light and colour to areas of lightly dappled shade. Shown here planted alongside Agapanthus. - Garden care: Prune lightly in mid to late spring, trimming shoots that spoil the symmetry. Protect plants from cold, drying winds either by moving to a sheltered spot if in a pot or cover with horticultural fleece.
