Smilax Flowering Shrub
Smilax Flowering Shrub
Smilax Aspera Flowering Shrub
The Prickly Ivy. South Europe, 1648. A trailing-habited shrub, with prickly stems, ovate, spiny-toothed, evergreen leaves, and rather unattractive flowers. There are other hardy species from North America, including Smilax Bona-nox (better known as Smilax tamnoides), Smilax rotundifolia, and Smilax herbacea, the first being the most desirable.
Smilax aspera mauritanica is a hardy variety, but one that is rare in cultivation, with long, wiry shoots, and well adapted for wall or trellis covering. They all require favoured situations, else the growth is short, and the plants stunted and meagre in appearance.
