Milky Way Cast Iron Plant – 3 Gallon Pot

---

One tough evergreen perennial plant that lives up to its name, the ‘Milky Way’ Cast Iron Plant will practically grow in the dark, loves the heat, and isn’t phased by arid, dry conditions. This makes it a perfect choice for planting in those difficult-to-fill areas in deep shade, even under large shade trees and decks. Lush, upward-facing, deep green leaves speckled with white form attractive clumps that provide bold texture and contrast in the shade garden. It can be grown as an evergreen perennial outdoors in zones 7a-10b and ranks right up there with snake plants and Philodendrons as an almost indestructible houseplant.

Milky Way Cast Iron Plant thrives in dense shade to part shade and almost any well-drained soil with average fertility. Morning and evening sun are okay, but avoid exposing this plant to direct afternoon sunlight. When grown as a houseplant, use a container with a drainage hole(s) and a light premium potting mix. When grown outdoors in pots, use premium potting soil or a 50/50 mix of potting soil and potting mix.
