Disporum cantoniense 'Moonlight' is a new cultivar which owes its name to its refreshing leaves. 'Moonlight' is a perennial with a compact growth habit and unique silvery white and green variegated leaves that change color in autumn to purplish-pink hues. In spring 'Moonlight' grows elegant arching stems followed by clusters of small flowers from late spring into summer. 'Moonlight' adds a graceful and illuminating effect to any shadow garden. During heavy frost, the plant disappears onto the ground but it will come up again in spring. 'Moonlight' loves shade but also grows well in partial shade to regular sun. It can reach a height of 40 to 60cm and finds its way in most soils types. 'Moonlight' can also be grown in a pot on a balcony or terrace and is perfectly suited to freshen up a dark garden.

Disporum cantoniense 'Moonlight' has won a silver medal at the Plantarium show in 2017.
