Description
One tough evergreen perennial plant that lives up to its name, the Cast Iron Plant will practically grow in the dark, loves the heat, isn’t phased by arid and dry conditions, so is perfect for planting in those difficult to fill areas in deep shade, even under large shade trees. Lush, upward facing deep green leaves form attractive clumps that provide bold texture and contrast in the shade garden. It can be grown as an evergreen perennial outdoors in zones 8-11 and ranks right up there with snake plants and Philodendrons as being an almost indestructible houseplant.
Please Note:  The 1 gallon size plant shown below represents the average size plant we ship which, depending on the time of year, usually has 3 to 6 or more leaves.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in upright clumps about 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, the Cast Iron Plant is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings or as a border in shady garden beds, home foundation plantings and grows very well under the canopies of large shade trees, decks or any other full shade environment. Excellent as a solo or combined with other shade loving plants in container gardens and is an almost indestructible houseplant. A fine addition to the tropical-look garden, perennial shade gardens, cut flower gardens, cottage gardens and woodland and rock gardens.
Spacing:  18 inches apart for mass plantings or solid borders; 42 inches or more apart for space between plants

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of  USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a, where Cast Iron Plant is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences

Cast Iron Plant thrives in dense shade to part shade and almost any well-drained soil with average fertility. Morning sun is okay however avoid exposing this plant to direct afternoon sunlight. When grown as a houseplant use a container with a drainage hole(s) and a light premium potting mix. When grown outdoors in pots use a premium potting soil or a 50/50 mix of potting soil and potting mix.

Plant Long & Prosper!

I love my cast iron plant. I got the 1 gallon size and it arrived looking full and healthy. I want to get another one!—————————————-Thanks for the photo! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy your purchase for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Thoughtfully packed to protect existing leaves with lots of new shoots on the rise.—————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
I liked this plant especially because I don’t have to put it in direct sun and it doesn’t need a lot of light. I have had a few problems with the ends of the leaves drying out, probably due to such dry air here this time of year (February). But I cannot thank Wilson Bros enough for attempting to help me, providing lots of advice on issues like the browning, repotting, and the pot not holding moisture. I have never had this kind of service and attention before from any nursery. The plant arrived fairly quickly, considering the distance. The only issue was the shipping company delivering it carried and handed me the box upside down! It was well packed considering that, albeit some of the soil had spilled out into the box. This is not the fault of the nursery but the shipper.
I want to thank Wilson Bros Nursery for all the attention and advice they have been providing, considering this was my first order from them and an order for just one plant. I will definitely consider ordering from them in the future.—————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I saw a variety of these cast iron plants, while vacationing in another state, and came home to try to find some locally. I found these “across town” and was very happy to have them shipped. They arrived quickly and I was very impressed with the packaging. It was done so well on these plants! They arrived very healthy and completely intact, ready to go into the ground. I planted them and they are doing very well. I will be purchasing more in the future.——————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
The cast iron plant arrived healthy and in great shape thanks to the careful shipping, despite a three day delay on Fedex’s end. The plant has a strong root system and the foliage is beautiful. I’d also like to say that the shipping was super-fast, and the communication from Wilson Bros. was much appreciated. I am so pleased with Wilson Bros. that it is now my first choice nursery to shop for plants.——————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I live in the Pacific Northwest where sunshine is scarce for most of the winter and early spring. The aspidistra (cast iron plant) makes a terrific houseplant for the dark parts of my home. This is the second time I have bought this plant. The original is thriving in my living room, so I decided to get another for the bedroom. Both 1-gallon plants were generously sized and arrived in perfect condition. I am very happy with my purchases and would definitely buy from Wilson Brothers again.———————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
The plant arrived quickly and safely. It looks great in our home and requires very little care.————————————–We are so happy you are pleased with your purchase! Beth | WBG
The plant arrived carefully packaged with no damaged leaves. I know I am going to love it once it gets mature…..Thank you for such good quality plant.———————————We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
Once again, I have received a beautiful plant from Wilson Bros and once again it is thriving! You guys are absolutely the BEST! Thank you for being so very conscientious and honest. Your plants are beautiful and healthy!——————————Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG
My new cast iron plant was shipped professionally and safely. Explanations about the plant appearance because of season specific issues in shipping times were understood and appreciated. The plant has since been repotted and is doing very well in my living room! ——————— WBG Reply: Hi Angela! Thanks so much for your review of the Cast Iron Plant plant we hope you enjoy it for years to come! We grow most of our plants outdoors so they are better acclimated and ready to safely plant upon arrival. After the winter sometimes leaves on the Cast iron Plant will have some blemishes so we let folks know. But it won;t be long and fresh new leaves will emerge! Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with.

I have had a cast iron plant in my home for over ten years. I wanted another one so I looked around locally in Massachusetts but to no avail. I looked on the internet and found Wilson Bros. I am glad I did. The plant is good sized with ten leaves and there new leaves coming. The plant arrived quickly and was well packed so there was no damage. I would buy again from this seller.——————————–Hi Edward, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Cast Iron Plant.

This plant was packed well, we bought 2, and I just ordered another 1 for our upper bed facing North, East and West on Lake Hartwell! It’s perfect underneath a Bradford Pear and Oak Tree; large bed with some sun.
Both are growing just fine; quite happy. Planted, no shock. ———- WBG RESPONSE: Thanks so much for taking the time to provide us and visitors to Wilson Bros Gardens with your review. The Cast Iron Plant is a perfect choice for growing under large trees. We have a large patch of them growing underneath a very large oak tree in our gardens about an hour or so south of you.
