Jungle vibes

My Fatsia has grown so tall on its single stem that it is now tree like and about 9 feet tall! It has three branches, all of which are flowering now. I can only see it from the bedroom window! Underneath, enjoying its shade and protection I have a Fatsia ‘Spider’s Web’ growing and also flowering in a large pot. I will probably attempt to plant it next year. I’m not a super fan of these plants if I’m honest, but they are just perfect for a shady corner and their lovely big foliage brings a bit of a tropical vibe to the garden.

I know exactly what you mean. The leaves get very tatty in the wind.

We will see whether the stem holds up to the autumn storms!

wow that is a specimen and a half. I can't decide if I like them or not if I am honest.
