Aspidistra attenuata Small n Smart 5b topped in late April (NC)Aspidistra attenuata 'Small n' Smart' is a Crg Farms collection (BSWJ3727) from the Central Mountain town of Wushe. This dense growing selection of the Taiwan endemic cast iron plant is composed of very narrow, solid green foliage that matures for us at 22" tall, making it quite different from all other clones of this species that we grow. As a house plant, the smaller stature offers a finer texture.
