Disporum cantoniense (syn. longistylum) 'Night Heron' grows to 3-4 tall emerging in early spring with burgundy-purple, bamboo-like shoots like an exotic multi-limbed creature unfurling itself into the new season. The foliage then emerges flushed with chocolate-brown. Both stems and leaves slowly change to deep, shiny green as the season progresses. Creamy white or greenish flowers are followed by dark blue-black berries that persist on this evergreen plant through winter. Grow in more sun to enhance and lengthen the burgundy display in the stems and leaves. This Chinese fairy bells is a Dan Hinkley collection from Sichuan Province, China.
