Aspidistra sichuanensis Thin Slice Equisetum the two 5-7 leaflet leaves

the two 5-7 leaflet leaves emerge from a central stem (usually purple)

The few scattered teeth along the leaf edges turn papery and fall away as the leaves age

since the new foliage will not emerge until June or July

Aspidistra sichuanensis Thin Slice Equisetum the two 5-7 leaflet leavesAspidistra 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.
