Kristin Green this might have been my favorite thing on TA's list...
Andrew Keys Mine too! More reading reveals that it's a plant-and-leave kinda thing, like you'd expect from a vining clematis as well, which move it lower down my list because I like little plants I can divide a million times over...

Gold dust plant (Aucuba japonica), for dry shade in my front garden, and it's a lot more cold-hardy than you'd think.

Michelle Gervais AHS: syn. Polygonatum cyrtonema. Gets 16" tall, 12-16" wide. Z7-9. Sigh. Can't grow it in my garden.
Andrew Keys Zone 7? PDN says 6, and Lazy S says 5. I think AHS is out of date.
Andrew Keys Also, Sunshine Farms says he's been growing it in his Zone 5 garden for many years.
Michelle Gervais Setting yourself up for heartbreak, my friend...
Andrew Keys Heartbreak? Wow. Now you're just being mean. I don't mind if you don't want to try it, but taunting isn't nice.
