Disporopsis pernyi

Disporopsis pernyi is a very easy-to-grow plant with very dark-green, glossy, almost waxy, foliage. It reaches about 6"-12" and forms a gently arch, beneath which several pure white pendulous bells appear in spring. It's a vigorous grower producing several new offsets in a year and makes about a 12" clump in two years. You can easily divide each clump.

This month's contest winner will receive three Disporopsis pernyi supplied by Sunshine Farm & Gardens.
