favorite among Southern gardeners! Clusters of 4-6" fully double, bright
pink, peony-like flowers are born in late summer and into fall.
Starting off white, they change to a light pink then dark pink as the
day goes on. You can, at times, have all three colors on your bush at
once which is really an awesome sight! It is a large deciduous shrub in
mild climates or a vigorous perennial in the colder portions of its
range. Tough, easy, and reliable! Full sun, Part sun, Part shade.
Tolerant of poor soils. Zone 7-10. </span><br /><br /><p></p><p>Seeds found here: <a href="https://flowerseeds.ecrater.com/c/2244884/shrubs-tree-seeds?&srn=2" target="_blank">Color Changing Dixie Rose Hibiscus Seeds</a><br /></p>Plants Found Here: <a href="https://centerofthewebb.ecrater.com/c/2316221/plants-bulbs-cuttings" target="_blank">Color Changing Confederate Rose Hibiscus Plants</a><p></p><p><span class="content"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="content"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHJjf2lMYjhxnqH4zQKpq7OocNBPrkMuhbILAL1Csg7nMb_RlD8soBhaNpFvQqXpp_1YqmafaxyaMrpPUuTJ2uQCNNLvSTEjv99TCFYRUK4Th--J7yi5KBMuk4UQINk5AoM5Zs1tEc1gR6kb9BNQgmX3vzkW1mpYYgC52BQQbqO3J_qaG8OMaMSRTylA/s905/Mutabilis5.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="905" data-original-width="686" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHJjf2lMYjhxnqH4zQKpq7OocNBPrkMuhbILAL1Csg7nMb_RlD8soBhaNpFvQqXpp_1YqmafaxyaMrpPUuTJ2uQCNNLvSTEjv99TCFYRUK4Th--J7yi5KBMuk4UQINk5AoM5Zs1tEc1gR6kb9BNQgmX3vzkW1mpYYgC52BQQbqO3J_qaG8OMaMSRTylA/s320/Mutabilis5.jpeg" width="243" /></a></span></div><span class="content"><br /> <br />

evergreen perennial with heart-shaped or 3-lobed leaves and
wide-funnel-shaped flowers to 3-4 Inches across, opening over a long
period from late spring to autumn. They don’t really close up like
annual morning glories, but stay open most of the day and change color
on a daily basis, starting out a bright blue in early morning, then
changing to a darker blue by mid-day, then to a purplish-blue and
finally to a dark pink at the end of the day. At the end of the year
when the weather is cooler, the blooms will remain open into the next
day turning a bright fuchsia color. Spectacular! The Plant is sterile
and does not produce seeds, like other Morning glories, but can set
roots of branched fall to the ground. Zone 8-11. Heavy bloomer.
Container suitable. </span></span></p><p><span class="header"><span class="content">Found here: <a href="https://centerofthewebb.ecrater.com/c/2316221/plants-bulbs-cuttings">Perennial Morning Glory</a></span></span></p><p><span class="header"><span class="content"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="header"><span class="content"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhceG4dRlMZNp9NYzm2nVLAzI3TMmNBW-iFASDFIJVU_h1RCpL7-zhUrenbYcJty7k_3I81kAIB0mgpctlBOtUJCUbzurs1MJrQvIkvLAP2ojKPguMrUFLRI4XJTbkxCFOvyfaPLdvfsQn1CPkhs7jW5k0uN_AVPznsaVMiAaBt4gT9mh63Ep82uTQiiA/s900/MG%20Blue%20Dawn%20Indica4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhceG4dRlMZNp9NYzm2nVLAzI3TMmNBW-iFASDFIJVU_h1RCpL7-zhUrenbYcJty7k_3I81kAIB0mgpctlBOtUJCUbzurs1MJrQvIkvLAP2ojKPguMrUFLRI4XJTbkxCFOvyfaPLdvfsQn1CPkhs7jW5k0uN_AVPznsaVMiAaBt4gT9mh63Ep82uTQiiA/w200-h200/MG%20Blue%20Dawn%20Indica4.jpg" width="200" /></a></span></span></div><span class="header"><span class="content"><br /> </span><br /></span><p></p><p><span class="header"></span></p>Garden Medusahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407584556411090300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430940450861096997.post-57770992830586879412021-09-21T09:17:00.002-05:002021-11-09T16:57:46.054-06:00Tropical Perennial Pigeon Pea Trees Cajanus cajan<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="content"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSH5KM_8mbiwR8jcR4Ayxyoh67Pdr9lmWghdXKJrq_EjxIXEti0d5GRJinh8kaTvkSBHPB1GMBwOwydlUMv5oE9uIcMeUVVvby1jommZEkiZeaKMG-TvKR_FSbUStxMnYc1rAPOX6whxUV/s1137/sweetshrub2.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1137" data-original-width="376" height="539" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSH5KM_8mbiwR8jcR4Ayxyoh67Pdr9lmWghdXKJrq_EjxIXEti0d5GRJinh8kaTvkSBHPB1GMBwOwydlUMv5oE9uIcMeUVVvby1jommZEkiZeaKMG-TvKR_FSbUStxMnYc1rAPOX6whxUV/w179-h539/sweetshrub2.JPG" width="179" /></a></div>Very cool plant that grows into a small tree like shrub and provides a delicious harvest. <br />Pigeon peas, or </span><span class="content"><span class="content"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

peas and Gungo peas, </span>Cajanus cajan, are grown in warm
and tropical regions throughout the world. This short-lived perennial
plant can actually grow into a small shrubby tree and makes an excellent
low hedge or windbreak. Pigeon pea seeds contain a large amount of
protein and three important amino acids. People in the Dominican
Republic and Hawaii grow the seeds for canning. The taste of pigeon peas
is nutty and grain-like. Because of its high protein content, it is
used as a substitute for meats. You can use the green peas like fresh
peas, and the dried peas like any other dried peas, beans or lentils.
The peas can also be sprouted to make them even more nutritious, and
they can be ground into flour. It needs very little watering because of
its deep root system. Pigeon peas can be of a perennial in which the
crop can last 3–5 years or grown as an annual in cooler climates.

Sunflower, Tree Marigold and Mexican Sunflower is a wonderful perennial
subtropical plant - resilient and adaptable, very showy and unusual,
unbelievably fast growing, comes back every year. Zone 8-10. This
species grows fast and large and needs plenty of space in the landscape.
Plants can easily grow to 12 feet tall and wide in a single year. The
bright yellow to orange, 6-inch diameter flowers can appear anytime
there is active growth, but bloom production peaks in late summer and
fall. There is a slight, pleasant fragrance, highly attractive to bees
and butterflies. They need a full sun location for best flower
production, but the plants will also tolerate some shade. Also suitable
for container culture in colder climates if pruned regularly. <br />
Tithonia diversifolia enriches the soil and can be used as a green
fertilizer, it has the ability to restore phosphorus in high amounts to
the soil. As a green fertilizer it contains N - 1.76% P - 0.82% K -
3.92%. It can also be used as chicken feed, fuelwood, soil erosion
control, and building materials. For fertilization, it is used as a
mulch which can be spread on top of the soil or buried beneath it.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju3R17hl3Gk8hEwM9WD_KG0fa_qptR7khQg6Za7xkZMuQ7z8Jz7LEBwxhHVslGmoU00n8kBBHxzYWbTqRGUWS79oyjfpmQLRfLfLy7bVmaUq6cBX6MR5hSAyZ-OyYazQF3t2d8LN4DPsA4/s929/TithoniaPinFB.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="929" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju3R17hl3Gk8hEwM9WD_KG0fa_qptR7khQg6Za7xkZMuQ7z8Jz7LEBwxhHVslGmoU00n8kBBHxzYWbTqRGUWS79oyjfpmQLRfLfLy7bVmaUq6cBX6MR5hSAyZ-OyYazQF3t2d8LN4DPsA4/w173-h200/TithoniaPinFB.JPG" width="173" /></a></div><br /></span><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://centerofthewebb.ecrater.com/filter.php?keywords=tithonia&x=0&y=0">Plant Source</a><br /></li></ul><p></p>Garden Medusahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407584556411090300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430940450861096997.post-6201809352160325232021-03-23T09:19:00.000-05:002021-03-23T09:19:00.065-05:00Nine Star Perennial Broccoli !!<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ojtnhH6iFxqc94nZ-nsukVitdBPZwV4fEah_t0LRa2i2GlgpajmLMPcb-cK2Xus_pmY4IrGblgagIvbhrW-1MZBK1LhuUtsyXPe3tohp3IMfk2zyyoFFYXHVwDI55qyfLgk3NUhEY6hT/s1076/9+star7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1076" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ojtnhH6iFxqc94nZ-nsukVitdBPZwV4fEah_t0LRa2i2GlgpajmLMPcb-cK2Xus_pmY4IrGblgagIvbhrW-1MZBK1LhuUtsyXPe3tohp3IMfk2zyyoFFYXHVwDI55qyfLgk3NUhEY6hT/w199-h198/9+star7.jpg" width="199" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">What do we have here? <span class="content">Rare 18th century heirloom. </span> Finally got my hands on some Nine Star Perennial Broccoli.

over-wintering brassica is a splendid and useful plant, producing a
largish, central, cauliflower-like white head each spring, surrounded by
anything from 5 to 15 smaller white multi-heads. Tastes slightly
stronger in flavor than cauliflower, more like a cross between
cauliflower and broccoli. Cropping improves if unused heads are removed
before they go to seed. Very vigorous, this plant should go on for
years. Hardiness zone 6+. It’s very possible to harvest up to 50
sprouting florets from one plant per season. Requires very rich soil.
Tastes like a mild cauliflower with a hint of broccoli – very delicious.<br />This is so exciting! </span></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="content">Found Here: </span><a href="https://centerofthewebb.ecrater.com/c/1884027/rare-unusual-and-wild-species" target="_blank"><span class="header">Brassica oleracea botrytis aparagoides</span></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="content"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #1b281d;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #1b281d;"><span class="content">

a new rosette of leaves. The leaves grow fast and in only a month they
are fully developed. Zone 5-8.<br />
It's one of the oldest and most famous plant in witchcraft, rituals and
medicinal use. It's also mentioned in several references in the bible.
According to the legend, a dog had to pull up the man-like roots as
their scream reputedly killed all who heard it! Today the plant is best
known from the movie "Harry Potter".<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span face="">The Monkey Puzzle Tree is an exotic South American evergreen tree that
will grow from the warmest parts of zone 6 to zone 10. It will grow in
any soil that is well-drained and typically grows to around 50 feet tall
in gardens, although in the wild it can reach 130 feet. This tree grows
in a symmetrical conical shape with a strong central trunk and the
leathery leaves clasp the stems and persist for many years. The leaves
have a sharp point and the way they are wrapped around the stems is
almost like a strange kind of snake. The symmetrical shape and dense
growth makes this an unusual and attractive tree for larger properties
and it is always a conversation piece.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span face="">
The name "Monkey Puzzle" comes from the fact that the branches have

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span face=""> diameters and curve around like a long monkey's tail, where
the scaled leaves make the branches look hairy. The scaled leaves look
like pieces of a puzzle with their even and angular shape.

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />Called a green birdflower or regal birdflower, this stunning plant belongs to the legume family (chickpeas and alfalfa). Scientifically known as Crotalaria cunninghamii, named after the 19th century botanist Allan Cunningham, the small green shrub is native to Northern Australia. According to the <a href="http://anpsa.org.au/c-cun.html" target="_blank">Australian </a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">Native Plants Society</a>, aboriginal people often used the plant's sap to treat eye infections.<br /><br />Looking directly at the entire plant, it’s as if a dozen green hummingbirds gathered together to enjoy a feast of flower nectar—beautifully suspended in mid-air. And when holding one of these flowers in your hands, it's easy to think it's the real thing.<br /><br />This hummingbird-shaped flowers originate from Australia and plant lovers can not easily purchase seeds. While some seeds appear to be available in the US on a_mazon and a few other market places, one must be <b>very careful to find a reputable source</b>. Most seeds are offered from China are actually <a href="https://www.invasive.org/browse/subinfo.cfm?sub=5395" target="_blank">Crotalaria spectabilis</a> seeds according to several of my plant collector friends, which is a yellow invasive rattlebox, toxic to some wild life, and the seeds look similar to Crotalaria cunninghamii. Be aware of this.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span class="content">Waratah is the Aboriginal word for the NSW Waratah
Telopea speciosissima. <br /><br />Telopea is from the Greek telepos meaning "seen
from afar". It is a spectacular slender, erect shrub, to 6' tall and
about 3' across. It has stiff, wedge-shaped and usually coarsely
toothed, dark green, leathery leaves to 6" long.<br />
The large, bright crimson flower heads consist of many small flowers
densely packed into conical or peaked dome-shaped heads to 6" across,
and surrounded by a collar of large red, smooth bracts. The ‘flower’ is
in fact a conflorescence that comprises, depending on the species, as
many as 240 individual flowers. <br />It flowers during spring, October to
November. Makes an excellent long lasting cut flower. Hardy to 25 F. Needs well drained soil.</span></span></span><br />

classified under the Loganiaceae family. This evergreen plant can be
pruned back to maintain it as a manageable small shrub but if it is left
alone, it can grow into a small tree with a height of about 10ft. When
not in flower, the perfume flower tree still makes a very attractive
shrub because it has very attractive foliage. <br />
The perfume flower tree is said to be a plant that can be grown in large
containers. It has average water needs and hence its roots should be
kept moist and not allowed to dry out. Like most other flowering shrubs,
to ensure that a perfume flower plant grows healthily and blooms, each
specimen should be grown in an area with at least filtered sunshine
(semi-shade), although it can tolerate full, direct sunshine outdoors. Sought after by collectors. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Off
we go, starting our own water chestnuts again. In case you ever had
them in stir fry, the fresh bulbs are 100 times better than the canned.
Delicious. Plus, I know in what water they are growing (clean water) ;)</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Eleocharis dulcis<i> </i>is tropical Asian aquatic sedge having an edible corm
and cylindrical leaves. The succulent corm of this plant ist used in
Asian cooking. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is NOT to be confused with the aquatic invasive European water chestnut (Trapa natans)!</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Asian</span><span style="font-size: small;"> water chestnuts (Eleocharis dulcis) and European water chestnuts (Trapa
natans) are two unrelated water plants that carry the same name. <br />The Asian water chestnut resembles a small muddy tulip bulb and is sweet
and crunchy; the European water chestnut resembles a tiny horned bull’s
head and is quite starchy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Americans are most familiar with the
Chinese water chestnut. Chinese water chestnuts grow underwater in mud,
have brown or black scale-like leaves, and are round, though somewhat
flattened. They are the roots of an aquatic plant that grows in
freshwater ponds, marshes, lakes, and slow-moving rivers and streams in
Japan, Taiwan, China, Thailand, and Australia. They are difficult to
harvest, explaining their generally high price. Chinese water chestnuts
have mildly sweet, crisp, white flesh and are excellent raw on skewers
with dip/</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The
European water chestnut or water caltrop has seed capsules with four
spikes and is named after the caltrop, a vicious medieval weapon with
four iron points. This hard-shelled ebony black fruit has two
prominent, down curved horns resembling a bull’s head and a woody,
sculptured surface that looks like a face or a bat. It grows abundantly
in Indonesia, Southeast Asia, southern China, Japan, Italy, and
tropical America. Its Chinese name, ling ko, means “spiritual horn.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Storage:</b>
Store water chestnuts, unwashed and unpeeled, in a loosely closed paper
or plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper for up to 2 weeks. Keep
water caltrops in a cool, dry place.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>To Grow: </b>Easy
to grow in a tub filled with dirt about 4" high . Water to 2" above
soil level. Consider appropriate spacing as each corm produces quickly
about 8-10 new corms. The closer they sit the harder it is to separate
them.</span></div>

shoots appearing usually around October. The shoots twine around any support and grow to a height of around 3 Ft.<br />
As the leaves open they are a lovely fresh green and very fragile looking, unlike the common nasturtium. <br />
It is however the flowers that are the main interest of the plant. As the specific name implies,<br />
they have three colors being red and blackish violet with a yellow lip, a combination that sounds like a<br />
miss-match but on these dainty flowers is very appealing. <br />
The long-lasting flowers appear in generous profusion and always make me think of a school of tropical fish. <br />
<br />
After flowering the plant then goes dormant for the summer. USDA Hardiness Zone 8.<br />The plant tolerates low temperatures 18F and can tolerate occasional
snow cover for up to a couple of weeks per year. Excellent in a
container.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

Native to Chile is was first introduced to western garden in 1836. It is an evergreen species and can almost be considered hardy in the cooler temperate climates of northern Europe. However if extended periods of cold are experienced then Abutilon vitifolium is known to drop its leaves. When grown under favorable conditions you can expect it to reach an overall height of almost up to 9 foot.<br />Stalked, axillary clusters of blooms are produced from May until October, can vary in color from pale to deep mauve. The saucer-shaped flowers open flat when mature and measure approximately 2 - 3 1/2 inches. They produce an abundance of fertile seed, and this normally produce seedlings true to parent forms. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Pedicularis groenlandica is a showy flowering plant in the broomrape family which is known by the common names elephant's head and elephanthead lousewort. This erect plant can grow to a height of 31". Its sharply-toothed fernlike leaves are located low on the stout stem. The stem is topped with a large inflorescence of bright pink to purple or white flowers. Each flower has a long, pointed beak which curves upward, superficially resembling the trunk of an elephant, and the lateral lobes of the flower resemble an elephant's ears. Like other louseworts and related broomrape genera, this is a root parasite which obtains nutrients from the roots of other plants by piercing them with haustoria. This plant is found in the high mountain ranges of western North America, particularly the Cascades and High Sierra, much of Canada and Greenland. It grows in wet environments such as riverbanks. It is said to have medicinal values and is used for skeletal muscle pain. A very cool flower. Very hard to find.</span></span><br />

member of the poppy family, has gray-green foliage up to 5 inches long
with 3-5 lobes and a waxy texture. One of the tallest members of the
poppy family, this species also boasts the largest blooms in the genus
which closely resemble fried eggs. In summer, many four-inch, delicate,
crepe-like blooms are formed at the tops of tall stems each bearing six
white crinkled petals and fluffy centers comprised of many yellow
stamens. Blooms have a faint citrus scent most noticeable when in
full bloom. Mature height is 3-8 feet with an indefinite spread.<br />
<br />
Perennial in zones 7-11. Performs best in full sun with a light, sandy
soil that is fertile but well-drained. Spread can be difficult to
control in ideal soil as plants spread by underground rhizomes<br />
<br />
Romneya’s natural habitat is quite diverse and plants will adapt to a
wide range of conditions. Plants resent transplanting and therefore
careful consideration should be given when choosing a permanent
location. Plants require weekly watering while getting established, but
are highly drought tolerant after their second year of growth. Cut
back hard in fall to encourage uniformity and keep plants tidy. Blooms
are attractive to honey bees and other pollinators. Idea for use as a
specimen planting, low privacy screening or for the back of mixed beds
and borders.<br />
<br />
Smoke treatments are beneficial in promoting germination. -</span></span><span class="content"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In their natural habitat these seeds only germinate after bush fires due to heat
and the toxins in the smoke attacking and helping to break down the
protective seed coat. A good seed supplier will provide smoke primer or you can smoke the seeds yourself.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Brugmansia sanguinea, the Red Angel's Trumpet is a small, 4 to 12 feet tall, perennial shrubby tree native to Peru and the Andes. Brugmansia is a fast grower. It is closely related to Datura, belonging to the same nightshade family, solanaceae. Brugmansia may be grown in containers or in the garden.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The plant is commonly grown as an ornamental for its flowers. The most spectacular flower display of the genus. The flowers are 8 to 10 inches long, trumpet shaped, pendulous, brilliant orange-red at the mouth with yellow veins, and fading to yellow at the base, not fragrant. It makes an extraordinary display in late Spring through Summer, but can bloom for most of the year. They are borne in abundance, up to 40 at a time. The stem is erect and branching. Plants require minimal pruning, simply removed old flower heads, although plants can be cut back to base during Spring to rejuvenate every few years. It requires cool Summer and cooler nights to bloom.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Leaves are 7 inch long, ovate, shining green on the upper side. The fruit is top-shaped, spineless, 3.5 inches long. All plant parts are highly poisonous and should never be injested.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hardiness zones 9-11, (-5°C/25°F, 4°C/40°F) in Winter. Reputedly the hardiest of the Brugmansias, it will stand short frosts, but generally does best in areas where the temperature rarely drops below 32°F. Provide a minimum Winter temperature of 7°C and reduce watering over the Winter. In cold Winter areas plants can be brought indoors.</span></span><br />
