Aspidistra attenuata BSWJ377 (Attenuate Cast Iron Plant)
Light Shade to ShadeZone: 8-10 40" tall Origin: Taiwan
Open House/Web-Only!
This Crug Farm collection comes from Tungpu, Taiwan, where it forms dense colonies in the well-drained forest soil. The dark evergreen leaves, highlighted with a few small yellow spots, reach 40" tall x 3" wide. This is certainly the tallest cast iron plant we have grown to date. The stunning 2" creamy yellow flowers with peach centers, which resemble a plate of sauteed starfish, magically appear in early March atop the soil surface among the base of the leaves...fascinating. At 8 degrees F, the old foliage was burned off, but the plants regrew nicely in spring. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
