Meet High Five™ Fatsia—the shade garden's new best friend and resident high-fiver. With deeply lobed leaves shaped like giant green hands, this evergreen shrub brings instant tropical flair to the darkest corners of the landscape. Its sculptural form and vibrant foliage make every garden stroll feel like a warm welcome.
Designed for shade lovers and low-light spaces, this Fatsia polycarpa thrives where other shrubs sulk. Whether nestled into a woodland border, tucked into a protected courtyard, or featured as a dramatic woodland specimen, it delivers bold architectural presence all year long. In warmer climates, it grows into an elegant evergreen shrub; in cooler regions, its shade tolerance makes it a stunning indoor houseplant during colder months.
Low-maintenance, evergreen, and strikingly textured, High Five™ Fatsia is a standout for designers seeking something fresh and unconventional. Its glossy green foliage pairs beautifully with ferns, hostas, hydrangeas, and other shade staples, bringing height, structure, and a distinctly tropical attitude to any planting. If your garden needs a statement plant that handles shade with style, this is the one.
