It has small chartreuse white coloured flowers which are scented, but its main attaction is the attractive shiny purple-blue edible berries which are borne on the plant. The plant likes a cool sheltered position in semi shade and humus rich moist soil .
Sowing advice
Sow in Spring or autumn . Ideal temp 18-24 deg C. Sow on the surface of the soil and cover lightly with mix, dont cover too deeply. Keep moist. The germination rate of these seeds is better when a small amount of smoke treated granules or smoke treated paper is applied. Germination should occur in 21-42 days, but can be erratic so dont discard the seed tray too soon even though there is no growth apparent.
