Aspidistra Elatior, also known as the Cast Iron Plant, has tough, leathery, deep green spear shaped leaves perfect for a shady corner. Make sure to wipe leaves with a damp cloth occasionally to keep them dust free and shiny.
The aspidistra is extremely resilient, can tolerate some neglect and is very low maintenance.
Occasionally produces reddish/cream flowers nestled at soil level.
Considered non-toxic and safe to keep around small children and animals.
