Aspidistra sinensis Cosmos Nothoscordum Because of its height andAspidistra sinensis 'Cosmos', originally offered as a form of Aspidistra saxicola, is a Jim Waddick introduction from the Sichuan Botanical Garden in China, that's made a fantastic container specimen, albeit insanely slow growing. The 7" long x 2. 5" wide black green leaves with almost no stalk are nicely spotted with large, vibrant creamy yellow spots.
