Named and introduced in the US by plantsman Barry Yinger, it has remained scarce, although it's one of best and most winter hardy selections we grow. Each fast-growing, evergreen patch produces 30\" tall clumps of dramatic foliage that is heavily streaked with large bands of green and yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Aspidistra\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/aspidistra-cast-iron-plant\"\u003eAspidistra\u003c\/a\u003e are very low maintenance perennials. Each leaf can last up to 3 years, but after the second year, it will begin to show signs of aging and leaf degradation. For that reason, we recommend removing all old foliage regularly to retain the attractiveness of the clump. It's always disappointing to see large patches of cast iron plants in public spaces where it hasn't been properly maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron plants grow well in both moist and dry soils as long as the drainage is good. Aspidistra must be grown in shade, since their foliage will scorch if they are subjected to sun. In the jungles where they grow, they are often seen in very deep shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn containers, they make superb house plants. The common name cast iron plant speaks to their durability in less than ideal conditions. Regular moisture, including increased humidity when they are grown as house plants, keeps them from getting stressed and becoming susceptible to spider mites.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGarden Value:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe bold texture and upright form of cast iron plants is invaluable in the garden, since there few other plants with this form and texture. Many have amazing flowers, produced at the base of the foliage, often in the winter months. While these flowers are rarely noticed in the garden, they can be quite attractive in the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWatch our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qCDqVPiXnu8\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePlant Spotlight\u003c\/a\u003e video for more information. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19471669985367,"sku":"12207","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Aspidistra-elatior-Goldfeather.i-12207.s-68058.r-1_2955d8f2-7592-4411-a009-6b08fe908ddc.jpg?v=1776355885","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/products\/aspidistra-elatior-goldfeather","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
