Calopsis Paniculata

Sorry - temporarily out of stock
This is a tall species growing to a height of 1.75-2.5m. The female flowers are the more attractive, consisting of tiny, white flowers during the flowering season. The mature stems are very popular in the cut flower industry with their bamboo-like appearance. This species is also used in the making of brooms, because of their short, multi-branched stems and wiry texture.
