Description

The listing, Umbrella Plant 50+seeds has ended.

This plant is grown primarily for its green foliage and is used around the outside of pond plantings, and it can also be grown in a container water garden. The Umbrella plant should not be kept around homes with pets or children which may eat the plant, as it is considered toxic and can make the person or pet sick. The plant is considered winter hardy in zones 8 to 11, but some report keeping it through milder winters down to zone 7. Can be planted in shade, partial sun, or full sun. It also makes a great houseplant for someone who tends to over water since this plant does best when the pot is placed in a saucer that is kept filled with water. As with all my auctions, the winning bidder must provide verified shipping information. If this is not done within 7 days, this item will be relisted

I've never seen them except in flower beds. I really like the pot shown here. When mine spread, I'll try it this way.

I do not know what zone I am in ( central New York State), but I would probably not plant this outside anyway. Looking to start potted plants with these if I win. How long will they take to sprout etc, are there directions on care etc ? Thank you!

How To Grow Umbrella Plant: Sow Umbrella Plant seeds indoors. Pre-moisten peaty starter mix. Sow the Umbrella Palm seed on the surface, lightly cover. Keep the flower seeds continuously moist until germination. Keep the flower seed shielded from direct sunlight. Umbrella Plant will readily self-sow. I grew these in a pot when I lived near Sryacuse, so they should do well for you. Just remember, the bigger the pot you give them, the more compelled they will be to fill it up ... LOL!
