And so there we have it: the Five-horned-horned Spindleberry; you’re sure to be ever so pleased with yourself when you rattle that name off to your friends when you show them this plant in fruit. A rare, small shrub of loose habit – so loose indeed it appreciates the zimmer frame of other shrubs for support – it is in fact a very elegant, narrow-leaved, foliage plant. But it is the unique and ornamental seed capsules that make this plant so interesting – bright pink and five-horned (you guessed it!), jester cap-like, they dangle from the slender stems like so many decorations on a Christmas tree. Seed scarce. Packet of 15 seeds.
