Disporopsis 'Lily Pads' is an outstanding evergreen Solomon's seal for the woodland garden. This Chinese discovery is so new, that it has yet to be named as a new species, which will eventually happen. This easy-to-grow, woodland specimen, forms a 4' wide patch in 10 years. When grown in optimum conditions like rich, evenly moist woodland soil, each stalk can reach 22" tall with leaves that are 7" long x 4.5" wide. In April, the stalks are topped with small, axillary, yellow flowers, each overlaid with a heavy brown speckling. This amazing introduction came via our friend, plantsman Hayes Jackson, in 2001 from China's Wuhan Botanical Garden.
