Foliage

Features long, arching stems densely covered in clusters of flat, needle-like, bright green foliage, giving it a full, feathery texture. Small, sharp spines are present along the stems.

Flowering Period & Fruit

Produces small, fragrant, pinkish-white flowers, followed by an abundance of bright red berries. The berries are toxic to humans and pets if ingested.

Sun Tolerance

Thrives in full sun to partial shade. For the densest growth, a location with several hours of direct sun is ideal. It is very heat tolerant.

Maintenance

Easy. A very durable and drought-tolerant plant. Water thoroughly when the soil feels dry. It is a vigorous grower and can be pruned back hard to rejuvenate or control its size.

Root System

Grows from a dense network of thick, water-storing tubers. This makes the plant extremely drought-tolerant but requires a well-draining potting mix to prevent rot.
