REINECKIA carnea. China, Japan. An attractive relative of Liriope and Ophiopogon with closely branched rhizomes, forming lush carpets. Its 1' grassy, deeply veined leaves are held nearly erect. They are bright green in color and shiny in surface. Spikes of pale pink, fragrant blossoms borne in spring are nearly inconspicuous, but the bright red berries which develop later are quite decorative. Sun or part shade, most soils, moderate to regular watering. Hardy to 10oF or less.
