Foliage Flower (Phyllanthus angustifolius)
Description
This unusual plant from the Caribbean covers itself in tiny pink flowers on and off throughout the year. The blooms have a smell of corn chips. It-s a slow grower that loves a sunny spot and doesn-t mind a drier environment. The leaves are flattened petioles or flower stems. Perfect for sunny windows as it remains modest in size and has a dense habit which lends itself to limited spaces with ease.
