I have put the brakes on acquiring new plants this summer.
But sometimes I cannot help myself.
I have this fascination with variegation.
When I spotted this ‘Spider’s Web’ Fatsia japonica, I snatched it up.
Despite the fact it will get much larger and need protection if planted outside in Zone 7.
All I could see was those leaves! Each is a different work of art.
The variegation changes as the leaves age.
It is evergreen, produces white ball blooms in the fall and makes black berries.
How could I resist?

I’m always making that vow that I won’t buy more plants, but then, there it is and I can’t resist. That is an interesting plant and it is nice to have something that is not just plain green.

Variegated plants are alluring, I agree. I’ve never seen a variegated fatsia, so I can see why you couldn’t resist. In my experience, deer like to eat fatsias, at least the plain green kind, and I’m talking about black-tailed deer on the west coast of Canada. But your deer may like them too, so be prepared.

This baby will be a houseplant then. That would be an expensive snack. Thanks Audrey.
