Pot Size: 1.5 litre Price: £35.00 Description: From a collection gathered by Roy Lancaster near Turkey's Black Sea coastal area close to the village of Camlihemsin in Rize State, next to Trabzon State. Only described to science, by Peter Yeo of Cambridge University in 1966. A dense thicket-forming extremely useful evergreen rhizomatous sub-shrub in its normal form, with only slightly arching stems to 60cm tall. Bearing broadly elliptic leaf-like cladodes (flattened stems), which carry the inflorescence below on the central vein subtended by a tiny bract. The small intriguing winter born flowers are followed by plump red fruit on female plants if pollinated. Best grown in shade in a humus rich soil. The plants of this named clone are from division, not seed raised, which invalidates the name.
