The Pope's coin measures 0.50 to 0.90 m high and 0.30 m wide. Its surprising name comes from its round and translucent fruits which resemble coins.
It is a hardy plant that tolerates cold temperatures down to -15°C. Plant the pope's money from March to May or from September to October in all types of soil as long as they are drained, cool and deep. The plant particularly appreciates partial shade and thrives in undergrowth environment, sheltered by large trees.
