Piper sarmentosum - Thai Pepper Leaf

This small scrambling shrub has glossy attractive leaves,and it is used as a popular herb in SE Asia. It is especially popular in Thailand, where leaves are used as starters, to wrap up bits of different food. The peppery flavour is not really spicy and after a while it is loved by most people. Lolot is one of the many names used around. It enjoys some shade and it is often used in the tropical-home garden,mixed with ornamentals.

We send a plant of 30-80 cm in 14-16 cm pot.  This plant can be dioecious  and might shed leaves in december to May.
