/zone 8b, SW Washington State, hummingbirds love my fatsia blooms. Awesome plant here.

Very nice tour of broadleaf evergreens! A suggestion for a future video: all of these were for dry soil - can you make a tour of broadleaf evergreens that tolerate damp soil?

[@DavidYount-w8w]

I have one that was fall 2024 planted. Deer are clipping the blooms and newer leaves.

@28:30, what is the second cultivar of Fatsia japonica? ‘Variegata’? ‘Moseri’? 'Murakumo Nishiki'/Camouflage?
