When planted in a partially shaded spot with humus-rich soil, this elegant perennial will form a dense bamboo-like clump of upright stems that are clothed in lush green leaves. Then, in late spring and early summer, small, pendent, yellowish green, bell-shaped flowers emerge, and these are followed by glossy black fruit. A relatively rare (and sought after) plant, it makes a wonderful addition to the woodland garden. - Garden care: Plant Disporum in a cool, partially shaded position in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. Keep it evenly moist, especially in summer. Cut back old stems in late winter, mulch annually, and protect young shoots from late frosts. Evergreen in mild, sheltered areas but may die back in colder winters.
Divide over-large clumps in spring before the new growth starts to emerge, and protect the new foliage from slugs and snails.
