Rivina Humilis is a herbaceous perennial plant growing from a woody taproot and with stems that are somewhat woody at the base. The red fruits are gathered from the wild to be used for dyeing. The plant is widely grown as an ornamental in the tropics and subtropics, where it is particularly valued for its brilliantly coloured, rather handsome berries.

How to plant/cultivate

A plant of low to moderate elevations in the tropics and subtropics. Succeeds in sun or shade. Widely grown as an ornamental, the plant has escaped from cultivation and become naturalized in many parts of the tropics. It has been declared an invasive plant in many areas. The plant spreads mainly by bird-sown seeds.[3]
