Disporum smilacinum ‘Ki-no-tsukasa’ – Green leaves are prominently streaked with creamy yellow at the tips on this small, sweet version of Fairy Bells. This is another relatively small-grower that would be a welcome addition at the front of a woodland garden where it will smile up at you as you stroll by. We hope you'll smile back - just saying. Slowly carpeting. Fertile, humusy woodland conditions. Established potted perennial by division.

The Fairy Bells are fantastic woodland denizens closely allied with Solomon Seal and Bellwort. Stems arise and often arch as with their relatives providing an elegant appearance which contrasts well with other shade loverss. Flowers, too, are often showy occurring at the terminal tips of stems as in Smilacina but each floret is more in the appearance of the bell-shaped flowers of Polygonatum (Solomon Seal) and Uvularia (Bellwort). They all prefer fertile soil high in organic matter in morning sun/afternoon shade, open shade or dappled light conditions. The following offerings are established pot-grown divisions from our plants.
