H; You might not think about Fatsias outdoors, so we thought about it for you! -fff The Fatsia or Aralia as we used to know .v.rZjb was formerly planted only outdoors until someone tried it indoors and found if fo be highly successful. Nowadays are 9 rown f° r iodoor use and the plant is liable to be forgotten as a handsome, bold-foliaged evergreen for outdoors! ' It's easy'to grow outdoors and quickly becomes 2m or more when planted in f ' moist, rich soil. Fatsia japonica grows in - the °P en or * n shade, the leaves being darker green when in semi-shade. , In Japan you'll find them planted in groups at pool margins. In New Zealand the bold, tropical appearance of the foliage is used to advantage for exotic effect in planting entranceway gardens and patios. Fatsias make an eye-catching contrast when planted in front of a plain wall and where the architecture is simple. Plants similar to the large * specimen illustrated are up to $2O and a smaller grade at $3.99 is also available. -I Ever tried an Amazonian Moonflower? Now's your chance.
