One of the great plants for winter gardens are the sacred lilies of Japan, of the genus Rohdea. Our mass of Rohdea japonica ‘Go Dai Takane’ is looking fabulous in January. Rohdeas do not spread, so these are planted from individual divisions, from a single original clump. Going from a single specimen to a mass like this can take decades. This patch was planted as ten single rosettes six years earlier. Rohdeas are very slow to propagate, but for 2025, Plant Delights has a good stock of new and previously offered cultivars that we haven’t had quantities to offer in quite a while.
Although not native, they are a welcome green right now on my property. A few seeded out…great to give away!
