Description

The listing, Organic ✽ PINK GAS PLANT ✽ 10 Seeds has ended.

These are seeds from my very beautiful & rare PINK GAS PLANT. They are a unique perennial with citrus scented foliage and seedpods. The flowers are magnificant in bloom, but the star shaped seedpods are the highlight of this plant. On still days, you may light the seedpods with a match to see a tiny explosion. I have done this many times to amaze my friends and family! They are also a host plant for Giant Swallowtails. I have seen very few of these at garden centers or on-line. I am the only one in our local garden club to have them growing in my garden. Make sure you pick a desired spot in the garden bed, as they resent being moved. They are slow to first bloom, but reliable, giving you years of enjoyment in your sunny garden. They are quite drought tolerant and very little care is needed. I believe the "strong shall survive" in my garden.

This Auction: You will be receiving 10 seeds from my
garden. They will be sent First Class mail in a standard envelope, wrapped with a napkin, and taped down. If you would prefer a padded package for these more valuable seeds, you can Paypal me $1.65 for the shipping fee. I have never tried these by seed, so you may want to research it further. They have been dry stratified and are ready to plant. You might want to take a nail file to etch each seed.
Propagation Method: Sow seeds shallow in soil in a heated tray at 70 degrees 6 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 3-5 seeds per pot. About 10 days before the last spring frost, begin hardening the plants to the outdoors. Transplant your plants to a sunny location.

OOps- I thought you wanted instructions for a different seed. These are not super easy. This is a difficult one. I have included some helpful tips on this one, but you may want to research further to have luck. FYI- they HAVE been dry/cold stratified for over 90 days, so that part of the seed-starting is taken care of for you.
