    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Datisca is one of those slightly bizarre high drama perennials. Once established, 2' wide clumps of pinnate foliage give rise to 5-8' arching stems with pendant spikes of small greenish yellow flowers in mid-late summer.

    Yes, it does look like…but isn't. This is false hemp, a handsome and tall perennial, to 5-8' tall, with bushy, arching stems, toothy leaves, and light green flowers in summer. Tolerates almost any soil that is well-drained in sun with spring fertilizer for plants or size and average summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.
