    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    An old cultivar from Asia that we found in the San Francisco area. Slow growing for full shade outdoors or bright indirect light indoors. Greenish cream flowers followed by long lasting bright red berries in summer. Extremely collectable and often used in traditional pot culture in Japan. Evergreen arching leaves crested with a folded ridge down the center, forming clumps, eventually to 12” tall. Appreciates good drainage and occasional summer water. Cold hardy to USDA zone 7 into 6 in protected areas.
