Quick Overview:

Ardisia japonica ‘Andre the Giant’ is a large leafed and fruited Japanese ardisia.  It makes a spreading ground cover for shade and is tolerant of quite tough, dry conditions once it gets established. The tops can be killed back in winter but it should resprout by mid-spring.

SKU: N/A

Description

Winter hardy to USDA Zones 8-10 where it is easily grown in average, acidic, moist but well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Foliage may burn in full sun locations. Prefers organically rich soils. Intolerant of dry soils. Avoid wet soils. Freely self-seeds to the point where it has escaped gardens and has the potential to naturalize in optimum growing conditions.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
