View our Pot Size guide:

Lush evergreen foliage on arching stems to 40cm. Off-white bell-like flowers hang from the stems and are followed by purple berries. Good soil in a sheltered shady spot.

A potentially less hardy Disporopsis this new species has been ok with us in pots for a few winters with only overhead protection so I expect it'll be fine planted in a sheltered corner most winters.

Collected in northern Luzon, Philippines.
