Aspidistra lurida ‘Ginga’
Aspidistra 'Ginga' is a dwarf plant with dark green leaves flecked with yellow that is hardy outdoors on the west coast or makes an easy houseplant elsewhere.
Cast iron plants are often used as houseplants where they can be placed in dark corners where they seem impervious to 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. Aspidistra ‘Ginga’ is an attractive, dwarf plant with dark green, evergreen leaves flecked with yellow to cream spots.
