Disporum cantoniense Flavens
Rare but in the trade under a number of aliases, it’s true name is Disporum flavum. It emerges in late spring with the multiple flower buds almost immediately visible on each stem and blooming quickly thereafter with large, showy yellow bells. It takes 2-3 years to develop a good root system and can occasionally be divided after that. Easily, the most impressive of the genus for blooms. The yellow bells are followed by black berries in summer. Soil: Rich, moist but well-drained
