green dragon

Overview

Green Dragon (Pinellia tripartita 'Gold Dragon') is an unusual species with striking foliage and flower. Its glossy green leaves and fragrant yellow flowers look like those of a dragon. This herbaceous perennial is native to parts of China and Japan. It prospers in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Green Dragon is a fast-growing plant that can reach up to 18” in height. Pruning back old growth can help the plant to remain compact and lush. Green Dragon adds texture and color to a shade garden; its bright flowers bring cheer when other plants are dormant in winter. Thriving in moist environments, it's ideal for planting near water features or streams.
