Cast Iron Plant – 6 Pack Of 1 Gallon Pots

---

---

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.

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

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.
