Melianthus Comosus - Tufted Honey Flower - Rare Flowering Plant - 5 Seeds

5 Seeds

Melianthus comosus is an attractive multi-stemmed shrub; all parts of the plant produce a strong, unpleasant smell when bruised, hence the Afrikaans name meaning 'touch-me-not-herb'. The large, grey-green, serrated leaves are clustered towards the tips of the branches. The small, nectar-rich bird-pollinated flowers, borne in a short cluster, form four-winged bladdery capsules, often as decorative as the flowers.
