Rohdea fargesii

Family: Asparagaceae, Genus: Rohdea

Description:

Rohdea fargesii is a unique evergreen perennial native to the Wuling Farm region of Taiwan, thriving on steep, damp cliffs. It features leathery leaves that can grow up to 3 feet long and produces tall scapes of green flowers that turn orange, emitting a distinctive scent reminiscent of household cleaner. In the fall, it bears bright red fruit, adding a splash of color to its lush foliage. This plant is larger than the typical Rohdea japonica, forming a clump that can reach over 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide. It is well-suited for woodland gardens and can tolerate average soil moisture.
