Toothache Plant seeds. This plants leaves can actually numb the mouth when chewed...

Toothache Plant prefers well-draining, fertile soil in either sun or partial sun. The plant responds best to consistently moist soil but be cautious about boggy sites, which do not sit well with the plant. Many northern gardeners treat them as annuals because even a light frost will kill the roots. In spite of this, their ray-less brightly colored flowers appear in mid-June and consistently bloom through September in most regions.

Opposite, oval, 2- to 4-inch long leaves produce a bush-like form, which can be 12 to 18 inches tall. Consider using the eye-popping plants in containers, mass plantings or mixed with colorful foliage plants to showcase the eye-like blooms. Their distinctive form and coloring is like planting a sea of watching orbs in the garden.

This is a fascinating, quirky and charming little plant with flowers to match its character. Even if you don’t require an oral sedative, the funny flowers will delight you for an entire growing season and, as an added bonus, it produces copious seeds which can be saved and started for more baby eyeball plants next year.
