Coming from the woodland, treacle berries are useful plants, preferring as they do a good deal of shade.
Hardy herbaceous perennials, treacle berries
will grow about 60 cm tall and once established will spread under trees.
We have two forms available; S. racemosa, which has large racemes of white frothy flowers and is a little more productive in the fruit department;
And S. stellata, which has white star like flowers and spreads more by underground runners.
Both produce small orange/red fruits in the autumn, which have an unusual bittersweet flavour said to be reminiscent of treacle.
