Dagga 'Staircase'

Product number: 340900
Origin: South Africa
Latin: Leonotis nepetifolia

Beautiful plant from South Africa. The orange flowers grow in clusters and emerge from a round bud cluster, several clusters above each other. The plant is very popular not only for its very ornamental value, but also for the calming, soothing tea, which even has euphoric effects. This tea is made from the dried flowers and leaves and is drunk mixed with, for example, mint (for taste). The plants can overwinter in a frost-free environment.

Sowing method: All year round in a warm location, preferably Feb-May. Sow in a mixture of coco peat and sand and do NOT cover the seeds, as they are light-germinators. Gently press the seeds, place them in a bright location (not in direct sunlight), and never allow them to dry out. Germination usually occurs within 4 weeks.
