 | Korea.  In 2007, when we installed our new woodland garden, we included many lilaceous shade lovers.  One of them is this graceful clump-forming perennial.  Disporum flavens is rhizomatous in nature but has always been polite.  The slender fleshy stems are slightly nodding at their tips where pendant flowers in sets of 1 to 3 dangle.  In the fall, attractive, glossy black fruits appear.  The narrow lance-shaped leaves which are found toward the base of the plant measure up to six inches in length.
