Disporopsis pernyi Zebra Stripes Begonia around a contrasting orange coneWe 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).
