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.
I understand that cuttings are few on this plant but is there any chance that this might hit the catalog? Noticed the one by the plant pick up area last week and it is beautiful. Thank you as always!
It would be very difficult to get enough cuttings without it being in tissue culture. Fingers crossed, as we’d love to offer it again.
Fingers crossed tissue culture folks pick it up.
P.S. Enjoyed the talk to our NARGS chapter last weekend and I’m looking forward to the upcoming open garden weekend
Many thanks. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at the Winter Open Nursery and Garden.
