Aspidistra columnaris 'Giraffe' Mahonia Frost hardy to USDA zoneA spreckled aspidistra with leaves to only about 8" tall, reminiscent of the rounded forms of A. typica but more undulating on the edges and cleverly spotted over all. Fairly slow growing but worth a prominent spot in the shade garden preferably a prominent spot close to a path. Grows best if regularly watered in summer and kept free of slugs and snails. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 8, and possibly zone 7. CAST IRON PLANT Asparagaceae
