What you need to know as a florist about the Phytolacca americana
- Colourful splendour
Phytolacca americana starts with soft green buds and blossoms, after which the berries slowly turn crimson, purple and deep black. This colour combination brings contrast to autumnal arrangements.
- Stylish applications
Phytolacca americana grows with upright, highly branched stems and long clusters of berries that change colour as they ripen. The clusters start blooming green-white and turn into deep purple to black berries.
- Symbolic meaning
Due to its intense colour and appearance, Phytolacca americana symbolises strength. Originally, it was also used in ink and traditional rituals.
