While it’s normally grown for its delicious root, it also makes an attractive ornamental grass in the garden. The foliage is vibrant green and somewhat glossy. It produces intensely fragrant flowers starting in the late spring or early summer. These are followed by edible red fruits that taste similar to cardamom. Can be grown indoors in a pot that is about 18 litres, with at least 6 hours of bright indirect sunlight or in the garden in a partially shaded spot in a pot that is at least 18 litres, to ensure a healthy crop to eat.
