Aspidistra 'Snowcap' and 'Sekko Kan'

[Gerry]

I'm looking for a source for this white tipped clone, an improved version of 'Asahi'. The only commercial source is Plant Delights in the US, and a $22 plant would cost me $250 with minimum order etc.

Sekko Kan is an improved variegata. See http://aspidistracastironplant.com/

Does anyone know a source?

This chap has a .co.uk web site although I can see no evidence that he actually sells the plants he lists.  He has both your Aspidistras amongst many others; maybe you can do a trade?

Edit:  Oops, missed the link: http://www.johnjearrard.co.uk/index.html

Thanks Alan; I've tried John who only has one small plant....

I thought maybe if he could not supply the Aspidistra himself he could reveal where he got his from.

His plant came from the USA (see daft prices above)

Maybe you need to form a consortium of Aspidistra fanatics so you can collectively cover the minimum order cost?  A few years ago I did something similar to purchase a very expensive snowdrop.
