Pot Size: 1.5 litre Price: £30.00 Description: One of the last species of this incredibly useful genus to be described to science, by Peter Yeo of Cambridge University in 1966. A dense thicket-forming evergreen rhizomatous sub-shrub, in its normal form, with only slightly arching stems to 60cm tall. Bearing broadly to narrowly ovate or elliptic leaf-like cladodes (flattened stems), which carry the inflorescence above on the central vein subtended by a small bract. The tiny intriguing winter born flowers are followed by plump red fruit on female plants if pollinated. This 2018 seed collection was gathered from a rich valley, close to the Russian border with Abkhazia, near the Black Sea coast. Best grown in shade in a humus rich soil.
