Disporum longistylum 'Green Giant'
Disporum longistylum 'Green Giant'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pot
A jolly plant indeed introduced by Heronswood from Sichuan. This has evergreen foliage springing from new growth that looks to be a bamboo until it leafs out. Small creamy white flowers in early summer and blue-black fruit held well into winter if the cold doesn't knock back the 6' + stems. Cut back old stems in spring if you were lucky enough to have a mild winter and it remained evergreen.

Excellent selection from the former Heronswood nursery of this robust woodlander noted for the dark hued stems especially in the new growth. This is an exuberant grower sending up big dark chocolate asparagus spears of new growth in late spring which branch out as they get taller bearing small creamy-green bells followed by glistening small black fruit. The young leaves carry some of coloring of the new growth and the whole plant retains this color better if grown in sun in our mild sun climate. In our shade garden, the foliage matures to a very pleasing dark olive-green and seems like some impressive cousin to bamboo as it can each 5'-6' tall. We always mulch ours in winter as we don't want to freeze out the crown and the new growth can start early here in the PNW so this mulch protects it from getting frosted. An easy and stunning plant. This was and still is offered as a selection of Disporum cantoniense but we thank Bleddyn Wynn-Jones for correctly identifying this as to species.

Small Band Pot
Rarely seen elfin Japanese woodlander that is perhaps more botanically interesting than a garden knockout but nonetheless brings an important dimension of small detail among the larger shade plants. Yes, it is the Tie that Binds. Small creamy dangling bells for flowers.

Small Band Pot
Charming little woodland creeper from Japan with double white flowers on this form. This gets just a few inches high but spreads nicely making such wonderful swatch of fresh green with the flowers being a pleasant surprise. It is plants such as this that really make a shade garden. Necessarily much attention is paid to the framework plants and their supporting cast but often the plantings don't get down to this level of intimacy and it it is this sort of detailed planting that takes contrivance out of the mix leaving the garden looking settled, natural and right.

Quart Pot
Pendant clusters of yellow bells makes this a refined and classy plant for the shade garden. Makes nice clumps and effortlessly combines with so many shade-loving plants. This Korean and Japanese native is very hardy and a good doer increasingly pleasantly fast. Some Disporum are runners but this stays obediently where you plant it. It is one of the few yellow-flowered species in the genus and for us has proven to be one of the easiest in the garden.
