Nursery contributed plant descriptions

10” tall in flower, this beautiful Japanese counterpart of Helonias grows in flat evergreen rosettes from which rise racemes of little nodding pink lilies in April. For part shade with plenty of moisture and sandy loam with leaf mold or peat added.

By: The Bovees Nursery

Interesting and showy Japanese species that makes tidy little evergreen clumps. Our original plant came from the Portland iconic Bovees Nursery. Unusual lavender-pink flowers held well above the foliage. Makes nice patches by rooting at leaf tips. Good moist soil.
