Rohdea japonica Shishi Osmunda a naturally-occurring hybrid between DryopterisIn Japan, some of the most highly prized cultivars of sacred lilies are the slow growing, twisted leaf dwarf cultivars. We were thrilled to offer one of these for the first time, Rohdea japonica 'Shishi'. Rohdea japonica 'Shishi' is composed of 8" long x 1" wide dark green leaves, which curl inward like a ram's horn. Rohdea 'Shishi' is slow to offset, but surprisingly vigorous for a dwarf rohdea. In five years, expect a 4" tall x 15" wide clump.
