Absolutely darling critter, spinning winter mounds of aroid leaves netted with silver that glisten in the waning fall and winter light!! 6-10" tall, slowly spreading; hooded white flowers in spring before the bright orange little berries..then this tiny tot sleeps until next fall! Shade to part shade, drought tolerant any soil – totally undemanding!
