Aspidistra sp. 'Tie Dye' (Tie Die Cast Iron Plant)

Light Shade to ShadeZone: 9-10, 8 with protection 30" tall Origin: China

NEW! (syn: Aspidistra sp. Hainan #3) This attractive cast iron plant hails from 2800' elevation in a Hainan, China dacrydium/Fagaceae forest, and represents a still unnamed new species. The 30" long leaves are composed of a 1' long petiole, topped with an 18" long leaf blade. The medium green leaf blade, which arches at the tip, is heavily adorned with large creamy yellow spots...a splendid way to lighten a dark spot. For us, this has survived 9 degrees F in the ground, but the foliage is regularly burned to the ground in winter. In climates with winters below 15 degrees F, we recommend it for a houseplant or as a gift to friends in warmer climates. Thanks to plantsman Nick Turland for sharing this with us.
