Product Details

Milky Way Cast Iron

Aspidistra elatior 'Milky Way'

Milky Way Cast Iron Plant is a tough yet elegant evergreen perennial known for its glossy, dark green leaves sprinkled with creamy-white spots. The foliage forms a dense, upright clump that provides rich texture and structure in the space. Growing 1.5 to 2 feet tall and 1 foot wide at maturity, it’s ideal for mass plantings, under-tree borders, or decorative containers. While it occasionally produces small, hidden purple flowers at the base of its leaves, the real appeal lies in its lush, speckled foliage and consistent evergreen presence. Heat- and drought-tolerant once established, this plant offers durability, texture, and lasting beauty through every season.
