Description:
Originally introduced from China by renowned plantsman James Waddick, this distinctive evergreen Aspidistra was later selected and distributed by Plant Delights Nursery. It forms elegant clumps of long, narrow leaves heavily speckled with large golden-yellow spots, giving rise to its 'Leopard' name. A hardy and adaptable plant, it thrives in deep shade and has gained popularity among collectors for its unusual foliage and ability to prosper in conditions where many other plants struggle.
