Plant description
A tough and adaptable plant, which when young, will look great in a bottle garden or terrarium. As it gets bigger it can be potted up and kept as a house plant, where it will help reduce indoor air pollution.

It’s an excellent choice for the wildlife garden since it supports a wide range of native species - we did say it was adaptable!
