What Ardisia aciphylla is
Ardisia aciphylla is an upright shrub that brings the dense structure of a tropical rainforest into your space. It holds its leaves in a rigid, vertical manner, giving it a disciplined silhouette.
You will find that living with this plant requires maintaining a humid, warm environment. It settles into partial shade well, behaving much like the understory plants of its origin.
