Description

The listing, Jewel of Opar seeds has ended.

This is a truly lovely plant that no garden should be without. The stunning lime green leaves bring a cooling feel to any garden and the red hazy of flowers look like smoke or cotton candy hanging over the plants. Excellent for hot dry areas or as a pot plant on sunny decks. Needs full sun but is easy to grow and care for, takes little effort with a great reward. Very easy to grow and care for, not only that but you can eat it in your salad too!

Considered a perennial in warmer zones it is grown as an annual in zones 7 and above. This plant is stunning lime green leaves that are elliptic or obobate with a smooth margin. These arise in small clump that can reach two feet in diameter. In early summer it sends up tall red much branched stems that bear small pink bowl shaped flowers continuously throughout the summer and right up to the frost. Flowers open later in the day, so early morning if often appears as if the plant is not flowering. Flowers are followed by small shinny red globular pods which look like a red haze hanging over the plant. Globes finally turn grey and spring open to disperse seeds. Produces large tubers that can be lifted and stored in colder areas. Roots are reported hardy to zone 7.

You will get a small package with a minimum of 20 seeds.
