Rohdea japonica 'Yattazu Yan Jaku'



This picture shows a plant growing vigorously, but behaving atypically. As it matures, the green leaves develop white marks and splashes, as though it had leant against wet paint. I bought it from Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina. Their catalogue says:

"R. 'Yattazu Yan Jaku' is one of the most emotion-provoking rohdeas that we grow...folks either love it or hate it. This upright-growing, evergreen clumper has glossy green leaves that are splashed with giant blotches of creamy white, as though you stuck a green rohdea in a spin art machine. Toward the end of the leaves, the blotches are larger. In late fall, the clumps are highlighted by 3" tall stalks of red berries...truly stunning!
