Fatsia japonica syn. Aralia japonica

Evening ❄ This Fatsia sums up the whole garden ☹ The leaves aren't even attached anymore, they've snapped and frozen in position #frozen #dead

☹☹☹ it will recover though

You should see my garden. Well actually you can't. It's under so much snow.

Its such a shame but if you cut it back after the frosts it will come back. We used to hard prune ours to keep it under control

Looks so sad Jase ☹ but somehow nature finds the ability to bounce back, and that's what we all have to hang on to at the moment.

Aww, it'll bounce back Jason, stay positive 👍😘

Oh this is sad Jason. I sure hope it survives and everything else 💚

Oh no, how awful 😥💚💚

That sucks, I feel bad for everyone in all that snowy weather.

Well it's frustrating and disheartening when something was doing so well and then the weather destroys it but plants are resilient and it'll probably come back after the damage is pruned off😊

Oh bum!! Although mines looking much the same hun 🙄

I admit it looks pretty bad but like others have said it might come back if you hard prune it 🤞 It’s certainly worth a try so don’t give up just yet 😘😘

Morning All ☕ The Fatsia is covered in flowers this year 💚🤍💚 #fatsia #fatsia-japonica #aralia #japanesearalia #evergreenshrub #plantsforpollinators #foliage #foliageplants

Love interesting flowers @joannie.a

Evening Joan, seems to be 😄 @joanboston

Evening Jane, so pleased with this one, no idea how big its gonna get though @pelly

A definite favourite here 💚 @lesliecole49

Cant believe how much growth this Fatsia is putting on this year, loving the rain and its sheltered, shadier spot and is well over 7ft high now 🌴 #fatsia #fatsiajaponica #aralia #japanesearalia #evergreenshrub #foliage #plantsforpollinators

Amazing plant and foliage 💚💚

Very impressive 💚💚💚

They do grow really quickly don't they. Mine's just started flowering but I guess yours might be a bit later as you're further north 💚

Thanks Diane 💚 Love the big leaves on this @hkyfvr

Thanks Jane 😄💚 @pelly

Certainly has this year, and nope, we're flowering here too, never had so many flower spikes on it before 😄 @lilybee

Very welcome. 💕🎃💀👻👹

Thank you very much Sue 💚 @lilybee

Thank you so much Marilyn 💚 @lovemygarden65

Always welcome Jason 🤗😘

4 months ago I moved my Fatsia put of its 'transporting pot' and into the ground...

And isn’t it pleased you did 😃

That’s a great focal point! Great place for it and it looks perfect there😊

Beautiful plant and a perfect spot for it!

It’s going to love it there 🥰

Thank you 💚 Definitely think it was the right spot @awomanonabike @gjones @columbiariver @lovemygarden65

It's perfect. I lost mine to moles this winter. Broke my heart. I potted up what was left of the roots. Maybe new growth next spring but not counting on it 😕💚

It looks great there Jason. I’m hoping mine copes a bit better with the winter wind this year.

...and its put on a nice bit of growth 💚 #fatsia #fatsia-japonica #aralia #evergreenshrub #hardy #ol-shadecorner

Looking fabulous 💚

Lovely planting!

Very lush 💚💚💚

Obviously happy there!

Looks really at home there 💚

Thank you 💚 It seemed to establish very quick and its safe to say if I move again it will be staying where it is 😀 @awomanonabike @gjones @pelly @joanboston @lilybee

Easy to buy it as a small plant again. They soon grow don’t they?

Wow, looks great there
