Fatsia japonica, also glossy-leaf paper plant, fatsi, paperplant, false castor oil plant, or Japanese aralia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae, native to southern Japan and southern Korea.

Robust, hardy and fast-growing, quickly filling a gap in the border, in sun or shade.
During the summer, globular white flowers appear which change to black seedpods by autumn.
Low-maintenance and long-lasting.
