Its wonderfully bold, coarse texture can be very effective in a balanced garden composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantLAPara2\"\u003eThis is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should not require much pruning, except when necessary, such as to remove dieback.

Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. Although it's not a true annual, this plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara2\"\u003eThis plant does best in partial shade to shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This species is not originally from North America. It can be propagated by division.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara3\"\u003eCast Iron Plant is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. It is even sizeable enough that it can be grown alone in a suitable container. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"NetPS-Clear\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"vendor","offers":[{"title":"10 INCH POT","offer_id":40034844409950,"sku":"46342","price":169.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 INCH POT","offer_id":41846539518046,"sku":"54326","price":55.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1800\/3399\/files\/J706-24.jpg?v=1769607460","url":"https:\/\/www.knippelgardencentre.com\/products\/aspidistra-elator","provider":"Knippel Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
