- Striking blue-green saw-toothed foliage
- Peanut butter scented leaves
- Suits borders or patio containers
Command attention in the garden with Melianthus major, an architectural shrub that dazzles with its bold blue-green, saw-toothed leaves and dramatic silhouette. Enjoy the unexpected delight of sweet peanut butter fragrance when the foliage is gently crushed, while summer brings the chance of maroon, honey-scented flower spikes if overwintered with stems intact. Perfect for ornamental borders or large patio containers, this half-hardy plant grows rapidly to form a striking centrepiece and thrives in full sun or partial shade, adding an exotic touch to any outdoor space. How to Grow: Light: Full sun to partial shade. Temperature: Half-hardy; protect from hard frost. Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, especially when in containers. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Feeding: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser in spring and summer. Humidity: No specific humidity requirements.

Image may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes (e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months). Decorative pots are not supplied.
