The flowers bloom in shades of red, and give off a sweet scent that is light and fruity. The flowers can also be tinged with yellow, orange or sometimes even a deep vinous color. Drymonia pendula grows best in partial shade and this makes it ideal for growing indoors. Plant care is easy as long as you keep an eye out for water needs. It should be kept fairly moist and is happy when it gets a light misting from time to time.

Make sure to provide the plant with plenty of sun, and keep the soil moist but not too wet.
