grainoftruth's Honey Bush

Plant: Honey Bush (Melianthus major) | 0 | Happy

Wow! can this thing grow! Architectural foliage – not fully frost hardy, but does OK even through quite bad cold snaps. Produced horrible brown flower brachs in Spring that smell – strange. These ooze a sap (the honey) that will stain clothes (so keep it away from your washing!) and is poisonous if eaten (so don’t eat it!) I cut mine back hard this year as it can get very tall, so looks a little lost in the bed for now, but will recover in a season.
