Plant description
When planted in a partially shaded spot with humus-rich soil, this elegant perennial will form a dense bamboo-like clump of upright stems that are clothed in lush green leaves. Then, in late spring and early summer, small, pendent, yellowish green, bell-shaped flowers emerge, and these are followed by glossy black fruit. A relatively rare (and sought after) plant, it makes a wonderful addition to the woodland garden.
