Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fatsia 'Murakumo Nishiki' means "gathering clouds brocade" in Japanese which is far more poetic and peaceful than the trademark name Camouflage which it has been given for marketing in North America. Monikers aside this is a fantastically gorgeous shrub with palmate, tropical-looking leaves up to 18 inches long and wide with varying markings of yellow, light green, and dark green. Every leaf is different. White flowers are popular with bees in autumn.

We LOVE Fatsia! Here is the newest... it has glowing golden yellow leaves with irregular green borders that look like they were applied with a brush by an artist who had one too many Sakis. Large deeply lobed tropicalistic evergreen foliage on upright stems form a 5’ mound of loveliness! Bright shade, average moisture (takes some dryness), deer proof.

This irregular variegated Fatsia is totally cool. The large green leaves have golden yellow centers. This new variety is very limited. One per customer.
