| The stems of this most unusual-looking plant resemble bamboo and are a feature in the winter garden. However, they should be cut back hard in spring to encourage new, bushy growth. The flowers are small, appearing as nodding bunches surrounded by dark-maroon bracts, followed by reddish-brown berries which are not considered to be edible. | ||||||||||||
| Sowing and/or growing instructions | ||||||||||||
| Sow in winter, in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse, covering thinly with compost or vermiculite. Transfer seedlings individually to 3in pots and grow on, planting out when large enough. |
