Strophanthus petersianus
- Product number: 647500
- Origin: Southern Africa
- Latin: Strophanthus petersianus
A special climbing plant, which grows in Southern Africa and can reach up to 15 m in length there as a liana! In Europe, we keep this plant in a pot, because it tolerates frost poorly. The flowers are very striking: white with a salmon-pink heart and the petals are extended with rose-red tendrils of 50-100 cm in length! In the past, parts of the plant were used to poison arrows; the Zulus believed that the plant helped in warding off evil.
