Description

The listing, Ylang Ylang Tree(Chanel #5) Seeds has ended.

The Ylang-Ylang: Queen of the Perfume World....this flower is used to make Chanel #5. I bought these seeds to add to my garden this year. I bought them on ebay but I failed to look and see what hardiness zone they grow best in since the lady I was buying from was also in Alabama. Silly me I didn't take into consideration that she also has a large greenhouse and I do not! Anyway my lapse is your gain. These seeds grow into a VERY expensive tree as long as you live in zones 9-11. I bought 10 seeds from the lady but I think I will break this up into a few auctions so that several people can get their hands on such a wonderful smelling tree. This auction will be for 3 ylang ylang seeds.

Do you know how long will it takes to mature enough to bloom? And how big will it gets?

I Googled it for you......
This is an evergreen tree, around 30 to 45Ft in height, with gracefully drooping branches. It is often grown in the gardens of Southeast Asia because of its yellow-green, highly fragrant, drooping flowers, which appear almost continuously on the leafy twigs. Though not striking from a distance, green when they first appear and becoming yellow with maturity, these are very fragrant and are used as offering or to scent a room. Fragrance embraces the yard for many yards around. The flower itself though not standing out among green leaves from the distance, still looks very stylish and reminds an elegant accessory for a luxurious brand name evening dress in addition to it's wonderful fragrance. No wonder the flowers are used for production of Chanel#5 perfume. There is also a smaller form of this plant - Cananga odorata var. fruticosa that grows into a dense shrub about 9ft in height. Cananga does best in full sun but will grow in light shade. Propagation is by seeds, more difficult by cuttings. Very fast growing.
Ylang Ylang, Perfume Tree, Chanel #5 Tree. Known for the perfumed aroma of its blossoms.
Takes time to germinate, up to 4-8 weeks. Plant 1/2" deep. Keep in slightly moist peat moss in warm place, may use heater 90F to speed up the process.
