ASPIDISTRA

Aspidistras have it by the bucketload, whatever it is. I have been accused of shovelling it out by the bucketload as well, and that might also be true.
I have yet to grow an Aspidistra that has not delighted me. The Japanese have been cultivating their native A.elatior and A.lurida for centuries, and they have selected a large number of variegated forms.
In recent years expeditions to China have introduced a number of other species to swell their ranks.

The Online Flora of China is helpful in identifying many of the species of Aspidistra, but the most useful resource is undoubtedly David Constantine's Aspidistra page which combines his personal experience with the latest technical information.
