Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Petite selection of this Japanese iconic plant growing to about 12" in height and width with graceful narrow, deep green leaves, streaked and striped white. Small flowers lead to attractive red fruit from late fall through spring. Slow growing but tough; able to withstand the deepest shade or pot culture in dark rooms. Think Sanseverria...but wait, there's more. This little evergreen is frost hardy into USDA zone 6. Loves warmth and humidity in summer for fastest growth.
