Belladonna

Product number: 370900
Origin: Europe
Latin: Atropa belladonna

An interesting plant with a rich medicinal, but also poisonous history. PLEASE NOTE: THE PLANT IS EXTREMELY POISONOUS! Especially the berries should absolutely not be eaten. Atropine (one of the active ingredients) has a gland-inhibiting effect and dilates the pupils (making ladies more beautiful: bella donna).
Ointment made from this plant causes strange hallucinations, in short, don't just start working with it yourself. (more information on www. annetanne.be/kruiden/belladonna.html).

Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray, first provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22°C), then provide a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then slowly warm up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly into the garden is also possible; just let it overwinter, and germination will occur in the spring.
