Thank you so much for your ID of Fatsia japonica.....I have been searching for its identity for two years! It came in a basket of other indoor plants, but as it grew larger I had to plant it outdoors. I live in SW Washington State and did not think it would survive, but survive and flourish it did. It is over 6' tall and gorgeous. A lovely addition to any garden and very hardy.
