I thought i would see if this was true, so i mailed Architectural Plants and got this reply...

Many thanks for your enquiry, I'm afraid there's been a bit of a mix up! We have never grown Kingston Bus Station Fatsia, only Japonica. In fact that form doesn't actually exist at all!

It looks like someones on a bit of a wind up!

I emailed them too and got same response. Great minds! I wonder if the Telegraph meant Mosrei? That fits the description.

Typical journalism if you ask me, you can't believe a thing they say.

I'd be surprised if there's even a Fatsia at that location.

I bought mine off "2001maizy" on eBay - its some side-door outlet for a nursery in the West country. Mine was a 2L plant for £20 - but she lists 9cm plants from time to time at similar money

There was some chatter in this thread:

"Dear Kristofer




Many thanks for your enquiry, I'm afraid there's been a bit of a mix up! We have never grown Kingston Bus Station Fatsia, only Japonica. In fact that form doesn't actually exist at all!




Let me know if you want any other plant information




Kind regards

So, Kingston doesn't have a bus station. Where do people get off then?
If it's the stop before, fatsia long way to walk

The worst name for a plant. Ever.

[Yorkshire Kris]

So does anyone sell it? Is it real?

The Telegraph article looks like a rehash of an older Fatsia article on the same website - I remember reading about her story of the Fatsia on the stairwell. There is no such cultivator as Kingston bus station, just a mistake online.
