Pot Size: 3 litre Price: £40.00 Description: An exceptionally rare species only known from one small colony, which comprises of just a couple of plants growing in very wet conditions. Hopefully there are more somewhere, meanwhile the appearance is fairly conventional, being superficially S. hookeriana-like. Finally after far too many years we have managed to build up a stock of this relatively small creeping species with dark green small elliptic to oblong leaves. Carried on dark purple shortly bristly stems, bearing an abundance of small staminate scented flowers in late winter to early spring and female flowers with persistent styles held in both twos and threes, which are succeeded by blue-black fruit (not red). Easily grown in shade to light shade in a humusy soil that is reasonably drained.
