The foliage emerges for us in mid-October

The first of the flowers which start as early as late June continue through October (NC)

but waiting eight years for seed propagated plants to reach flower size is an exercise in patience

Aspidistra fungilliformis Stargazey Tigridia The foliage emerges for usAspidistra fungilliformis 'Stargazey' is a 2009 introduction from the former Asiatic Nursery of plantsman Barry Yinger. This clone forms a low, dense groundcover of 10" long x 2. 25" wide, heavily yellow spotted leaves. In early December, check below the foliage for the fascinating sangria and white flowers that emerge from the wiry creeping rhizome. Where this isn't winter hardy, it makes a superb and easy to grow house plant. Maintenance: Aspidistra
