Pyrrosia Eboshi Multicolor Flowering Plants opening like a dwarf Baptisia

opening like a dwarf Baptisia australis with 30" tall stalks of blue lavender flowers

bright gold-foliaged deciduous perennail eventually forms a 2' tall x 4' wide patch of fleshy upright stalks

We are thrilled to now share the Hillier's clone of what we think is the most beautiful of all the ruscus species

Pyrrosia Eboshi Multicolor Flowering Plants opening like a dwarf BaptisiaPyrrosia 'Eboshi' is an odd Japanese selection of tongue fern that is either a tetraploid selection of Pyrrosia lingua, or possibly, a hybrid with Pyrrosia sheareri. This oddity has 5" tall, super thick, glossy, dark green, twisted leaves with fuzzy brown backs. It can either be grown as an epiphyte or in well drained soil, where it spreads quite slowly via a very thick, shortened rhizome.
