I was sent a small offset of 'Godaishu'in January 2006, and was delighted to get it, but I
think the piece I was sent is actually 'Gunjaku'. In time it will grow and its identity
will become clearer. For the moment, this is 'Godaishu', but there is a question mark.
Other plants I have seen are more strongly variegated. Cotswold Garden Flowers website says: "Vigorous upright dwarf form, creamy-white marginally variegated evergreen leaves matures to creamy-yellow, 18cm. Good for dry shade." Quackin' Grass Nursery say: "Rohdea japonica 'Go Dai Shu' (also spelled 'Godaishu'; ex: Jonathan Lehrer) – Another choice Sacred Lily with all new strap-shaped leaves heavily striated in creamy yellow. The green of this cultivar approaches forest green - very dark, darker than 'Tamgawa-ryu'. The dark backdrop makes the cream stripes pop. Leaves mature to a leathery, fibrous texture and the creamy yellow lightens to milk white." |
