Comments:
It is reported that this lily is one of Japan's most highly prized perennials. It produces dark green, strap-shaped leaves and stays moderatly low. This perennial is especially well adapted to deep shade. It grows and multiplies relatively slowly. Provide a moist soil that contains a generous amount of humus to encourage plants to multiply and form large colonies of ground covering. For a well established clump it produces short-stemmed green flowers that are mostly hidden by the short stocky foliage. The flowers are followed by clusterd of bright red berries that can be quite showy. Makes an excellent container plant for small spaces.
