Plant of the Day

Friday 17 January 2025

In my friend’s tropically inspired garden in Essex, UK, there was a magnificent clump of Aspidistra elatior 'Variegata' (cast iron plant) alongside Dicksonia antarctica (soft tree fern) and Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' (false castor oil plant). This evergreen perennial creates a clump of leathery, long, dark green leaves with irregularly stripes of creamy-white. This plant needs shade and a relatively frost-free enviroment.
