Had this stem in a bouquet of roses

9 years ago

I didn't know where to ask but my roses had this beautiful long stem of leaves and I was wondering if any of you know what it's called?

Butchers broom (Ruscus aculeatus). A very hardy shade plant for pots.

Thanks! Should I keep it or toss it out? How would I even get it to root and is it possible?

After help from Adam's post, I did some web research. It seems that Ruscus hypophyllum is used in the flower trade. It is a member of the lily family. Propagation is typically done by division of the underground rhizome. It does well in shade.

Nice and green!

Here is a link that might be useful: Ruscus hypophyllum
