Danae racemosa Peltoboykinia pinkish-purpleFrom Iran and other nearby Middle Eastern countries comes one of our favorite garden plants, Danae racemosa. The highly coveted poet's laurel will never be found at Wal Mart due to its slow speed of propagation. From seed, danae takes 5 7 years to become a sellable plant! Prized by florists and gardeners alike, the 4' long green stems that arch outward from a central clump, are clothed with thick waxy green leaves that remain evergreen all winter.
