Due to the recent discovery of the spotted lanternfly in South Carolina, California has restricted the shipment of plants from SC as well as 15 other states in which the spotted lanternfly had already been found. It was found over 100 miles from Nurseries Caroliniana, but the whole state has been put under quarantine until a treatment protocol can be worked out to resume shipments to California. Authorities hope that this can be accomplished by the end of the month.

Okame or Variegated Aspidistra. This selection is one of the oldest known cultivars of this species and has dramatic and bold white, cream and green striped leaves with every leaf showing a different pattern. This selection has extremely large leaves, up to 30" tall. It is not the most stable variety, but it is well worth growing for its theatrical statement in the shade garden. One will need to periodically remove leaves that revert to green. But, I simply divide these off and put them in my all green Aspidistra bed, after which many of these will revert to variegated foliage. This selection makes a dramatic indoor pot plant as well, surviving in low-light areas similar to where one would grow Sansieveria or Mother-in-laws Tongu.
