A lustrous and compact mound of handsomely formed foliage quietly, and tastefully adds an evergreen display to the difficult, dry and shady parts of gardens. Finding support plants that back up the ‘stars of the show’ in style is key to an exceptional garden – and Pepperspot’s decoratively serrated leaves, covered with a dusting of brilliantly golden fine spots, reminiscent of tropical plants such as crotons, performs this role with aplomb. Its neatness has an architectural quality perfect for containers in contemporary gardens in a more leading role. Undemanding in any soil in shade or sun.

Height and spread after 10 – 20 years 2m x 2m.
