The lovely variegated evergreen shrub, Fatsia japonica ‘Murakumo Nishiki’, is really looking fabulous now, as we move into fall. The commercial availability of this woody ivy relative, has been a bit sparse, but hopefully propagation protocols will continue to improve. There are so few cuttings per plant that the only real answer for better availability is to use tissue culture. Hardiness Zone 7b-10.

We love this plant! What quality do seedlings offer?
We’ve never had a seed set on this cultivar, but inquiring minds want to know.
That’s a great looking Fatsia. I’ve been growing them in zone 7a in Virginia for quite a few years. Love ‘em.
