Fatsia japonica 'Tsumugi-shibori'
Japanese aralia ( syn. Fatsia Spider's Web)
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!
Fatsia japonica 'Tsumugi-shibori' 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.

How to care for Fatsia japonica Tsumugi-shibori:
Fatsia grows best in partial to full shade with moist, fertile, well-drained soil, and is ideal for sheltered spots where its foliage won’t be damaged by cold, drying winds. Keep the plant looking its best by pruning lightly in mid to late spring, trimming back shoots that disrupt its natural symmetry.
It generally needs little maintenance, but removing any damaged or untidy growth will encourage fresh leaves and maintain its shape.
