Aspidistra neglecta 'Soft Spot' - BWJ15585

Pot Size: 8.5cm
Price: £25.00
Description:
Thinking I had found a very ornamental Ophiopogon, when I stumbled across this very narrow leaved species in the mountains of Tuyên Quang, northern Vietnam in late 2017. Perched on a shaded tiny ledge on a sheer limestone cliff, where it was spilling over the edges. Growing from slender well branched scaly rhizomes to 1cm across, forming dense clumps of grassy dark green white spotted foliage 50cm long, but only 1-1.2cm wide in this collection. Bearing December to February, small sharply dark purple lobbed white flowers on curved stalks. Best grown in shade in a container of well drained organic compost sheltered from severe frost. Not tested for hardiness.
