Disporum trabeculatum Penstemon glossy green foliage makes aDisporum trabeculatum is an odd Solomon's seal from Vietnam that has thrived for us for a couple of decades in our woodland garden. The stalks and foliage remain evergreen until temperatures drop below 15 degrees F, but arise again in spring. The 15" tall stalks are clothed in elegant rounded leaves, that emerge in spring with a bronze tint. For us, Disporum trabeculatum also pushes a large number of new stalks in fall, freshening the woodland garden.
