Description
This species has long rhizomes strongly marked where the nodes signify the presence of a leafy stem in the previous season.
25-40 cm stems bear stiff curving leaves which display hanging crystal white flowers throughout May and June. These mature to purple berries in autumn.
Found in China, Myanamar and Vietnam at altitudes of up to 2,000 m, so very hardy. This is easy here in the ‘usual’ conditions for this genus.
