Aspidistra tonkinensis v. compacta - BWJ15577

Pot Size: 1 litre (deep)
Price: £40.00
Description:
According to most Aspidistra lists in the UK, this species has been in cultivation for ages, but I can assure you that this very distinct species has not. It is easily identified by its bright white flowers with gently recurving lobes and contrasting black-purple throat around December time. This clone is a low growing variety that I found in the type location at Ban Meo village, Cao Bang Province in northern Vietnam. Here it formed creeping colonies of small well branched narrow rhizomes just above the soil bearing narrowly ovate mottled evergreen thick-textured foliage. Best grown in shade in a container of well drained organic compost sheltered from frost. Doubtfully hardy in the UK.
