The jiaoguan flowers are green and tiny, its fruit is black in late summer.

Jiaogulan has long been known in Asia, it is a plant as a sweetener in Japan and used as tea in Chinese medicine.
In Japan, it is said that people who make a drink of immortality tea daily have a much longer life expectancy.
Related saponins similar to those found in ginseng are also found in jiaogulan.
This is why this plant is also called blue ginger.
