If you have or plan a tropical garden, then Melianthus major is a must have plant.

It has spectacular, grey-green leaves with deeply serrated edges. It makes a dramatic statement in a sunny, sheltered border or exotic garden scheme.

Grow Melianthus major in well-drained soil in full sun, ideally against the shelter of a south-facing wall.

Although hardy in many parts of the UK we recommend you research your particular location prior to winter frosts.
