MELIANTHUS major
An architectural beast.Perhaps the most magnificent of all foliage plants, this South African giant needs a warm sheltered spot and rich fertile soil. Grey green deeply cut leaves, which when bruised give off a sour sexy scent. In mild winters evergreen. If not cut back by the frost in winter, it is a good idea to give it a sharp prune in Spring. Deeply cut, large grey green leaves. Insignificant maroon flowers. Sun. Not too dry well drained soil. Ht. 200cm. Sp. 250cm.
