Aspidistra vietnamensis 'Amanogawa'

Despite it's translation this is not to be confused with what is often sold as Aspidistra 'Milky Way' instead the leaves of this supremely variegated cultivar are painted in broad strokes of cream and white, further accented with the more commonly seen white speckling, creating an effect well deserving of the more literal translation 'Heavenly River'. As with other cast iron plants this is highly tolerant of deep shade, plays nice indoors, stands up to roving bands of deer and offers foliage bliss all year long.
