Aspidistra elatior is the cast iron plant, named for how hard it is to kill: broad, glossy, leathery leaves, and it does well in the darker corners of a room. We deliver it in Dublin with our own drivers and across Ireland by DPD.
It comes from Japan, and you may also know it as the bar room plant. It is happy in most rooms, which makes it a good plant for a hall or a north-facing window. Don't let it dry out completely, but there's no need to water it often; a liquid feed every two months is plenty.
It comes in a plastic nursery pot, ready to set inside one of our plant pots.
Delivery
In Dublin, our own drivers deliver Monday to Saturday, the same day if you order before 11am. We don't deliver on Sundays or bank holidays.
Across the rest of Ireland, it goes with DPD, Tuesday to Friday. Order before 11am the day before; most arrive the next working day; when DPD is busy, it can take two to three working days. Any size marked “Dublin Only” stays with our own drivers, and checkout tells you if a plant can't go to your address.
