'China Moon' reach 16" long x 3" wide with half of the leaf length being a thin, but rigid petiole. Each leaf is speckled with pale yellow spotting. Each clump will make a wonderful accent in the woodland garden. This is either a form of A. typica or a similar-looking new species. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
