Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Disporum smilacinum hails from the woodlands of Korea and Japan but you won’t find this form in the wild. ‘Kogane Tsuki’ has shockingly rich yellow foliage with green stripes and streaks merging at the end of each leaf. It only grows to about four inches tall but makes tight colonies. Each stem produces one or two drooping cup-shaped white flowers in mid to late spring.
