Aspidistra elatior ‘Sekko Kan’
White frosting and striping on big green leaves make this a great garden focal point or pot plant.
Cast iron plant has frequently been used as a houseplant where it can be placed in dark corners where it seems impervious to the low light conditions. Yet they are also hardy on the west coast and can be planted outside in shaded conditions, especially with overhead protection from trees and shrubs. ‘Sekko Kan’ is a dramatic Japanese selection with dark green leaves frosted and striped with white.
