Rohdea japonica 'Suncrest'



A yellow variegated form with curled leaves that have a narrow raised ridge along the midrib (called a 'running dragon' in Japan). I got it from Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina.
Their catalogue says:

"Always a customer favorite, Rohdea 'Suncrest' forms a rosette of thick, black-green leaves that arch outward. Rohdea 'Suncrest' features the highly sought-after, white, raised "dragon crest" (distorted leaf growth) that runs down the center of each leaf. Established clumps of this easy-to-grow evergreen perennial will be adorned with short stems of bright red berries in winter."

It has been surprisingly vigorous in the greenhouse.
