While it prefers an acidic moist soil

Aspidistra 'China Star' is clothed with 8-10" long x 2

Along the scape are dozens of small pansy-like flowers of bright yellow

Hosta Cinnamon Sticks Ophiopogon This selection of evergreen JapaneseRoy Herold's 1996 introduction is a H. longipes var. hypoglauca x H. 'Maruba Iwa' hybrid that has been on everyone's want list at least those searching for red petioled hostas. The glaucous green leaves are backed with luscious white, contrasting nicely with the cinnamon red petioles (front and back). The 20" wide clumps are topped in early fall with light lavender flowers on the bright red scapes.
