Description:
Ruscus hypophyllum, a relative of poet's laurel, is a shrub native to northwest Africa, often used as a cut-foliage plant due to its long-lasting freshness. It forms an upright arching clump with green stems and plastic-like cladodes, producing red berries after flowering. The plant prefers average-to-dry soils and requires some protection in single-digit temperatures. It belongs to the Asparagaceae family and supports itself without external structures. Ruscus hypophyllum can grow to a height of approximately 1.4 feet.
