Lush, upward facing deep green leaves form attractive clumps that provide bold texture and contrast in the shade garden. It can be grown as an evergreen perennial outdoors in zones 8-11 and ranks right up there with snake plants and Philodendrons as being an almost indestructible houseplant.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/span\u003e  The 1 gallon size plant shown below represents the average size plant we ship which, depending on the time of year, usually has 3 to 6 or more leaves.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing in upright clumps about 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, the Cast Iron Plant is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings or as a border in shady garden beds, home foundation plantings and grows very well under the canopies of large shade trees, decks or any other full shade environment.

I have had a few problems with the ends of the leaves drying out, probably due to such dry air here this time of year (February). But I cannot thank Wilson Bros enough for attempting to help me, providing lots of advice on issues like the browning, repotting, and the pot not holding moisture. I have never had this kind of service and attention before from any nursery. The plant arrived fairly quickly, considering the distance. The only issue was the shipping company delivering it carried and handed me the box upside down! It was well packed considering that, albeit some of the soil had spilled out into the box. This is not the fault of the nursery but the shipper.\nI want to thank Wilson Bros Nursery for all the attention and advice they have been providing, considering this was my first order from them and an order for just one plant.
