Forms a ground-covering thicket by means of underground rhizomes, which is particularly effective in dry shade. Short, modified stems called 'cladodes' look like leaves along arching stems. Small white blossoms are held in the middle of these cladodes. Ordinarily, this species has separate male and female plants.  However, 'Wheeler's Variety' is self-fertile and produces an amazing crop of bright red berries!

Consider these as drought-loving ground covers under oaks, which resent summer water. Ruscus will also do well in irrigated garden conditions.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
