Mushroom plant
- Product number: 832400.1
- Origin: Papua New Guinea
- Latin: Rungia klossii
AVAILABLE EACH YEAR FROM MAY, JUNE UNTIL STOCK RUNS OUT. Leaves with a mushroom flavour: that opens up new possibilities! Think of salads, as a final addition to soups, in a stir-fry, etc. The earthy taste is truly a sensation. Originally from Papua New Guinea, it is an indoor plant here, which can be placed outside in summer and is not only tasty but also particularly beautiful: glossy basil-like leaves, often with yellow markings, that culminate in sky-blue lip-shaped flowers. The plant grows slowly and tolerates shade. Height 40-60 cm.
