Disporum cantoniense
A beautiful evergreen fairy bell for the shade garden.
A bold, evergreen perennial for the shade garden with bamboo-like shoots arising in early spring. They quickly unfurl into a multi-branched clump, topped in late spring with creamy white or greenish, bell-like flowers. A beautiful plant for the woodland garden, its evergreen nature combined with persistent dark blue berries keeps some interest in the winter shade garden.
