Roots and shoots part three. Trachystemon orientalis is an easy plant to propagate. It spreads vigorously by rhizomes. Break off a section of rhizome and plant it somewhere else. That's about it really.

 T. orientalis thrives in shade, even deep dry shade. Sometimes called Oriental Borage it has Borage-like flowers in early spring. The leaves start small and grow considerably larger forming an effective ground cover through the summer months.
