Open House/Web-Only!
This hard-to-find small-growing aspidistra makes a unique clump of dark green leaves which are heavily freckled with yellow on both the front and back. The 1' tall x 2" wide leaves emerge directly from the ground with no petiole apparent. This is a superb houseplant in northern climates. In the garden, the foliage has been killed at 10 degrees, but the leaves resprout from the rhizome. The name 'Seiun' means "star cloud." Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
