(aka: Aspidistra 96CPC240) Aspidistra zongbayi 'Old Glory' is a 2002 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of a cast iron plant selection made in the wild in Sichuan, China, by plantsman Darrell Probst in 1996. This low-growing groundcover cast iron plant is composed of 10" long x 3" wide, light green foliage of Aspidistra zongbayi 'Old Glory' has a 0.75" wide yellow stripe running down the center of each leaf. As the leaves mature, they are also highlighted by a good sprinkling of yellow dots...hence the name Aspidistra 'Old Glory'.
