FREE: Jewels of Opar 'Limon' Talinum paniculatum

The listing, Jewels of Opar 'Limon' Talinum paniculatum has ended.

A wonderful plant to cover up a bare patch or as an accent plant in the garden. Tall red stems with little pink flowers emerge from the base of the plant far above the foliage that makes the flowers look like they float in mid air. The seed pods are often used in arrangements as they have a red appearance. Reseeds easily and you will be receiving 1/8 teaspoon which is well over 100 seeds are more that are very similar to poppy seeds but smaller. Harvested fresh from my garden this past season.
