not noticing the pollen was yellow instead of green

sure to brighten any garden

but only a few remain in cultivation today

Disporopsis pernyi Zebra Stripes Begonia not noticing the pollen wasWe are pleased to introduce this Hans Hansen creation the first named variegated evergreen Solomon's Seal, Disporopsis pernyi 'Zebra Stripes'. This type of mericlinal streaking isn't particularly stable, but our six year old garden clumps have remained variegated. Any solid green shoots should be removed when they occur. The 22" tall stalks are adorned with small, fragrant, white, axillary flowers in April (NC).
