應用 Application

生長強健,是優良地被植物,亦可配植於庭園石組、牆腳列植,盆栽單獨種植也很美觀。果實有毒不可食用。昔日兒童使用葉片對折後用力吸氣可以發出哨音。

This robust species is an excellent groundcover; suitably planted as an accent plant for garden rookery landscaping; row planting along a wall or in an individual pot to accentuate the beauty. The fruit is poisonous and thus inedible. In the old days, children picked the leaves from the plant, folded and blew hard into the leaf to make a whistle.
