Ruscus
hypoglossum ~ Horse Tongue |
| If you enjoy unusual plant
forms Ruscus hypoglossum is a great find. Horse Tongue has flowers
that come out of what look like leaves. Ruscus hypoglossum is in the
Lily family. That starts to make sense if you look closely at the
Horse Tongue flowers. I grow Ruscus hypoglossum in a lightly shaded
location in our garden. In full sun the foliage looks a little
parched, but they will grow in that exposure near the coast. Our
Horse Tongue has grown about 2 feet tall and the clump is expanding a few
inches each year.
