I am a hardy evergreen, scrambling and slightly woody plant. I have upright or trailing branches with fine lime green foliage creating a "tail" leading to my common name.
I work well as indoor plant and in hanging baskets.
My white flowers are fairly insignificant appearing for a few weeks in summer and these are followed by small berries which are bright red when mature.
While I tolerate full sun I am hardy and adaptable still perform well in heavy shade.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My attractive arching stem with dense leaves have a fox tail like appearance
Hardy and tolerating low light makes me an ideal indoor plant
My arching form looks great when I am grown in hanging baskets
