An evergreen perennial although it looks more like a shrub and it grows to about 1metre tall and as wide. What looks like foliage is in fact cladodes (modified stems that function as leaves) and the tiny green and purple flowers that from a distance look like small insects sit in the centre of each cladode. This plant is all about texture as it doesn’t do showy and in Australia, it seems, both sexes aren’t grown so that the red berries that could be expected on female plants unfortunately don’t form.
@jack4john ah I am thrilled you think so
