Description

The listing, Make Money With Jewelweed has ended.

My wildcrafter buddy and I pick a LOT of this plant. We were unable to fill all of our orders for it this year. Soap crafters use this to make jewelweed soap that is used for poison ivy relief. It has become a very popular soap. I have known the price of dried jewelweed to go for 45 dollars a pound.
You can make your own soap, its a simple recipe that I am glad to share with winners of my auctions, or you can grow it to sell to soap makers. Better yet, grow it to attract hummingbirds. They will gravitate to this plant above all others when it is blooming.
This plant makes small capsules that "pop" at the least amount of disturbance and will throw their seed a considerable distance. Collecting the seed is a real challange and each pod only has four or more seeds each. These seed were harvested from our personal stash in the Appalachian Mountains grown wild.
Our last order for this plant was for 100 lbs. Commercial soapmakers have a difficult time obtaining it and are begging for it as well as the small time soap crafters.
The Native Americans used this plant fresh to help relieve the stinging, spread and itch from poison ivy, poison nettle, a variety of rashes, insect bites, etc.
A must for every medicine cabinet.
I also have some of our soap made with this up for auction now. Check it out.

this auction is for thirty very difficultly obtained seed.

If you are willing to pay pal me 2.00 for shipping I will double the seed count, other wise the count will be for 30 +
