Expert Tip
Many people are surprised to hear that Aspidistra can grow remarkably well planted outside in milder areas. They are hardy down to -5C, though understandably they will not retain their usual impeccable neatness as a rugged outdoor specimen!
Care & Size Guidance
This is a notoriously slow growing plant, which is great for smaller spaces or a disinterest in repotting. However with bright indirect light and more attentive watering and feeding they can eventually grow to handsome clumps of 50-60cm or more.

This plant was even better than imagined on arrival, the packaging had kept it well protected (even though it had been stood in torrential rain outside) and it looks gorgeous in its new position. I bought the 3ltr pot, and it has so many more leaves/stalks than I expected- great proportions and lots of new-ish leaves. Very happy, thank you.
