Aspidistra is a plant native to Asia and is commonly grown as a house plant. The common name for aspidistra is the 'cast-iron plant'.
In Japan aspidistra leaves are cut into pieces and used in Bento boxes to seperate the different kinds of food.
In the floristry industry, aspidistra leaves are used extensively - often folded or stripped and plaited in flower arrangements and wedding flowers.
Aspidistra leaves are available all year round on the wholesale flower markets and are sold in bunches of 10 stems. There are two choices of lengths - 60cm or 80cm, (measured from the bottom of the stem to the tip of the leaf). Aspidistra leaves are available in plain green or in a spotted variety called Aspidistra Milky Way.
