Fatsia Japonica Multi Stem — Superb Quality, Mature Plant
A truly spectacular specimen, this Fatsia Japonica Multi Stem is a mature, established plant that makes an immediate impact in any garden or outdoor space. With its bold, architectural foliage and impressive multi-stem habit, this is not your average garden centre plant — this is a premium, ready-to-perform specimen that has been grown on to deliver instant results.
Plant Height — What This Means
The stated height of 80cm (approximately 2ft 7in) is the true planted height of the plant itself — measured from soil level to the top of the foliage. This figure excludes the height of the pot, so what you see is exactly what you get once planted in the ground or a decorative container. No guesswork, no inflated measurements.
Why Multi Stem?
Unlike single-stem specimens, a multi-stem Fatsia Japonica gives you a fuller, bushier, more voluminous plant from day one. Multiple stems mean more leaf coverage, a more natural and established appearance, and greater visual impact — whether used as a bold focal point, a lush screening plant, or a dramatic container specimen on a patio or terrace.
The 20 Litre Pot Advantage
Supplied in a generous 20 litre pot, this plant has the root space and established root system to support vigorous, healthy growth. A larger pot means a more mature root ball, better anchorage, and a plant that settles in quickly after planting — with far less transplant stress than smaller, younger specimens.

About Fatsia Japonica
Fatsia Japonica — commonly known as the Japanese Aralia or False Castor Oil Plant — is one of the most dramatic and versatile evergreen shrubs available for UK gardens. Its enormous, hand-shaped leaves create a lush, exotic atmosphere, and it thrives in shaded spots where many other plants struggle. Virtually maintenance-free once established, it rewards with creamy-white flower clusters in autumn and year-round structural interest.
Ideal for shaded courtyards, urban gardens, woodland borders, and large containers. A plant that genuinely earns its place.
Planting Tips
💧 Watering – Essential for Success
Consistent watering is vital from day one. Ambient rainfall is rarely sufficient, especially in the first season after planting. Water deeply and regularly to help roots establish — this is the main condition of our plant guarantee. Plants that are allowed to dry out may fail to establish and will not be covered under warranty.
Rootballed Plants
Handle rootballed plants with care and do not remove the hessian sacking, netting, or metal wire around the rootball. These materials are designed to hold the root system together during planting and will naturally break down in the soil. Simply place the rootball in the prepared planting hole, making sure it sits at the same depth it was previously growing. Backfill with soil, firm in gently, and water thoroughly.
Potted Plants
Remove the plant carefully from its pot and lightly tease out any circling roots before planting. Place it in a hole slightly larger than the pot, ensuring the top of the rootball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, firm in gently, and water generously.
Trees & Tall Plants
When planting trees or taller plants, always provide a strong stake or support for at least the first growing season. This helps the roots establish firmly and prevents wind damage. Position the stake on the windward side and secure the stem loosely with a soft tie, allowing for slight movement.
