Can this plant survive a New Jersey winter?
Cast Iron plants (Aspidistra elatior) are not ideal for outdoor planting in New Jersey due to the colder winters. They are hardy in USDA Zones 7-11, and New Jersey can fall into Zones 6 or colder, where temperatures often drop below what Cast Iron plants can tolerate. If you want to keep it outdoors, it’s best to grow it in containers that can be moved indoors during the winter months. Otherwise, Cast Iron plants do much better as indoor houseplants in colder regions.
