Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Though we know the name isn't very sexy, we know the plant is fabulous, a clump-forming evergreen perennial for moderate to the deepest shade (think inside a seedy tavern). This form is one of an increasing number available from fellow plant cultists in Japan. Resembles most closely a sansevieria with upright leaves, to 18” tall, that are deep green, edged white. Slow growing, but worth it. Long lasting container specimen indoors or out. Frost hardy to USDA zone 6.
