Ruscus hypoglossum is a fabulous plant for dry shady areas. Indispensable and very valuable for it will grow in the driest darkest conditions. We have used it many times to solve 'planting issues'. The foliage makes great material for floral arrangements and has its own intriguing botanical twist - the apparent leaves are actually modified stems (cladodes). The flowers then appear in the centre of these cladodes. Grows 1m high x 1m wide. Evergreen perennial that looks more like a shrub. Ruscus can be loosely hedged and looks best en masse.

Commonly known as the Korean Spice Viburnum or 'Arrowwood'. This Viburnum is native to Japan and Korea. It is named after William Carles who collected plants in Korea while working for the British Consular Service in China. Arrowwood is a slow growing deciduous shrub that reaches a well rounded 1.5m tall. Snowball like clusters of very fragrant flowers appear in mid Spring. On top of the egg shaped dark green serrated leaves, these leaves turn red to wine-red in the Autumn before falling off altogether. The fragrance of the flowers is glorious having the scent of sweet, rich, spicy vanilla.
