Disporum sessile 'Variegatum' – Variegated Japanese Fairy Bells

Disporum sessile 'Variegatum' is a hardy, beautiful, shade-loving woodland perennial, with gracefully arching stems and striking green foliage, irregularly striped with creamy white. In late spring and early summer, greenish-white, tubular bell-shaped flowers hang beneath the leaves, followed by small, glossy black berries in autumn.
