It is time to set Fatsia free in the garden. After a year of pampering it and potting it up, I finally believe it will be better off out in the ground instead of a pot. It has quadrupled in size.
It is an act of faith to put a plant in the ground. Is it ready? Is this the best location? Will it be beaten by weather or eaten by wildlife?
I must release my friend Fatsia japonica ‘Spider’s Web’ and hope it thrives among the Selaginella, Autumn Fern and Orange Epimedium.
A beautiful plant in a lovely spot.

It looks great. But I’ve seen fatsias visited and nibbled by deer, here on Vancouver Island. Our deer are the black-tailed variety; maybe the ones in your area have different tastes.

So do I! I have noticed that plants they eat one year are left alone the next year. I know which ones I have to spray with deer repellent. That works quite well.

I love that plant, and if the co-plantings you mentioned are happy where they are, so will your Fatsia – I’m sure of it!
