Aspidistra sichuanensis Thin Slice Equisetum whose colors also flow intoAspidistra sichuanensis 'Thin Slice' is a Plant Delights JLBG introduction of a selection of the Sichuan, China native cast iron plant that was shared by plant explorer Ozzie Johnson. We named it after the foliage, which is the narrowest form of the Chinese Aspidistra sichuanensis we've ever seen. The 18" long, arched dark green leaves are faintly spotted with a few muted gold spots. In our woodland garden, we saw no winter damage at 9 degrees F.
