If you're not very greenfingered, and want something that's easy to care for and rewards a little effort with a lot of enjoyment - then this is the plant for you.
It may not look like much at first, but once it gets growing, it morphs from a knobbly cluster of green nodules into long arching branching stems; and when it bursts into a cascade of starry blooms - so pretty!
