Does an Aspidistra Flower?

There are spotty leaves, stripy leaves, narrow leaves, tall leaves and rounded squat leaves. The one thing that brings them all together is their love of dry shade. They flower too: not in a glamorous and brightly-coloured way, but more of a "get down on your hands and knees with a magnifying glass and wonder" way.

How often does an aspidistra flower?

It's normal to only get one flower at a time, and typically each one will last for a few weeks. Only mature plants will produce flowers and the light levels need to be reasonably good.
