Bastard Hemp

From LoveToKnow Garden

Bastard Hemp (Datisca) - D. Cannabina is a tall and graceful herbaceous perennial from 4 to 7 feet high, the long stems clothed with large pinnate leaves, yellowish-green flowers appearing towards the end of summer. The male plant is very strong and graceful in habit; the female remains green much longer than the male; when it is laden with fruit, each shoot droops gracefully, and the plant should be included in any selection of hardy plants of good form. Seed will be found the best way to increase it, and would secure plants of both sexes. The border is not its place; it is, above most other plants, suited for the grassy margin of an irregular shrubbery. Himalayas.
