Pot Size: 1 litre (deep) Price: £15.00 Description: An interesting collection that we found growing on the tiniest of islands between Shikoku and Honshu, namely Oshima in Ehime Prefecture. Here it grew in fairly dense undergrowth along with Fatsia Japonica. An evergreen perennial which emerges from a narrow slowly creeping rhizome. Forming small colonies of upright parchment textured glossy dark green leaves which are oblong-ovate 40-50 cm long by 10 cm wide on slender petioles. Bearing solitary campanulate pale 8-lobed purple flowers late winter to early spring. Best grown in shade in a container of well drained compost sheltered from severe frost, or outside in a very sheltered heavily shaded spot.
