Farfugium japonicum "Aureomaculatum"
I picked up one of these at a small local nursery yesterday. It was purely
an impulse buy. I'm a sucker for variegated foliage, and this plant, aka leopard plant, stopped me in my tracks with its glossy green leaves with bright yellow spots. I've poked around on the web a bit, looking for cultural information, and am reading conflicting reports. It's listed as a zone 7 plant, but others report success with it in zone 6. I'll be planting it in a moist, slightly shady spot, and mulching it well. Is anyone growing this plant? How has it done for you? Have you overwintered it in zone 6? Did you do anything special to protect it over the winter? Or should I grow it as a container plant? In that case, what would be the best way to store it indoors over the winter--how moist, what range of temperatures,etc. Thanks in advance for any replies, Cheers, Sue Zone 6, Southcentral PA |
