Description

The listing, Powder puff plant seeds- very unique!!! has ended.

These beautiful and inticate plants make a flower like a powder puff. The color above is accurate. Depending on how you prune this plant, you can have a bush or small tree. These seeds start easily, and once established will give you more seeds(they have seed pods). The flower starts out looking like a raspberry, and then it opens to a thing of beauty. As you can see, each little spike on the flower has a greenish tip on them. I will send 10 seeds.

This plant is a southern plant. People in the northern states have to take it in in the winter.The photo above that is a tree is just an example of what they can become. It is not my photo. But yes, you would have to trim around bottom to get this effect.

Are they perennial? I'm in zone 5

May 22nd, 2014 at 6:46:28 PM PDT by

Where is zone 5? I am in FL and we haven't had anything cold enough to hurt this plant so I have flowers all year. I just googled it and if you are north of zone 10 they are mostly indoor plants and if healthy, can bloom all year there too. They are a large bush or small tree down here and if you have a big container it will probably get pretty big up there.. They say lots of light. I would think so as I guess they are a more southern plant naturally. So, perennials... yes! I hope that helps.

Ha! I was born in Ohio. My sister is there in Lima and she has great summer gardens. But unlike here, I guess you have to adjust to the winter by digging things up or bringing them in. If you wanted, I would think a potted powder puff could be taken outside for the summer. I would just not give it too much sun so it doesn't go into shock right off the bat and then take it back in when it starts to get chilly. We have nights in the low 30s and sometimes 20s (not often) so that's probably when you should take it in. Maybe when it dips into the 30s.

I can't tell that is why I was asking.

May 24th, 2014 at 3:30:52 PM PDT by

I think that photo was a fluke.

May 24th, 2014 at 6:45:14 PM PDT by

It looks like a bottlebrush tree.

May 24th, 2014 at 4:13:19 PM PDT by

The flowers are round balls instead of long flowers that the bottle brush has, but they are similar loooking. I also have a bottlebrush. The P.Puff doesn't grow as big. thanks for looking.

The real name for this tree is Mimosa and they are my favorite tree. We had one out front of our house here in Oregon when I was growing up. The blossoms are rather ethereal and the fragrance is Intoxicating

May 27th, 2014 at 7:32:36 AM PDT by

Yes they are like something from another planet!

This is a mimosa , see the leaves? They look completely different than the leaves in your photos ... Also when you touch the leaves do they close? Mimosa leaves close when they're touched ( so cool huh) and they also close at night ... I'm wondering if you have something like a hybrid or I don't know , the flowers look like mimosa though :)

May 28th, 2014 at 7:04:55 PM PDT by

Nice auction! The flowers LOOK like a mimosa to me, I have big mimosa tree in my back yard that started as a naturalized seed that blew in years ago , anyhow yours looks different, the leaves etc on the tree or bush in photo 2 don't look like mimosa to me so I'm confused , HAHa you just gave me a great reason to google and learn which I love doing , thank you ! And best of luck on your auction! :) F&W !

how do i find out what # zone in in for flowers new to this

May 28th, 2014 at 12:59:18 PM PDT by

10-12, otherwise it's an indoor plant

May 29th, 2014 at 5:10:24 AM PDT by

I have one of these beautiful plants beside my house and I would love to promote this plant by saying, it is gorgeous during the summertime, hummingbirds fly around it for its nectar and it gives off a sweet scent. My mother and father planted the tree when I was little and now it's taller than my house! It's a wonderful climbing tree if it grows healthy. Anyways that's my opinion on this plant.

May 28th, 2014 at 10:20:31 AM PDT by

Are you sure you're not talking about a bottlebrush tree. Anyway, Thanks for the publicity. :)

May 28th, 2014 at 11:47:43 AM PDT by

Very unique plant....F & W

. Fanning you.

This does look like a Bottle Brush Tree. I had great luck with them in Florida, they grown tall and round, with little to no care. Too bad I live in Vermont now, it wouldnt be very pleased here ... lovely plant

May 26th, 2014 at 5:22:16 AM PDT by

I love Vermont!

That small container one was likely a bonsai plant

May 25th, 2014 at 8:48:37 AM PDT by

Yes I think so too. Maybe they use small containers so the roots can grow much, thus dwarfing the plant. I know nothing about bonsai plants except they're small and very interesting.

May 25th, 2014 at 9:00:46 AM PDT by

Thanks not for me!!!

May 24th, 2014 at 3:32:07 PM PDT by

That container doesn't look deep enough to me for the size of the plant. Strange, I never noticed till you asked.

May 24th, 2014 at 5:02:19 PM PDT by

What type is the container that you have the tree in?? Did you have to cut it like that the tree?

May 24th, 2014 at 9:09:26 AM PDT by

see below

May 24th, 2014 at 10:55:55 AM PDT by

May 23rd, 2014 at 10:03:33 AM PDT by

May 23rd, 2014 at 10:34:39 AM PDT by

You should I think it's a neat Idea to send some to your sister! I only live 45 minutes from lima! Lol I wasn't trying to be short last night I was in bed for the night

May 23rd, 2014 at 6:44:01 AM PDT by

I didn't think you were short. I was up to 1AM to bid on a bra strap holder(butterfly) that I really wanted. I missed it by 50. So I ordered one from Amazon. :)

May 23rd, 2014 at 9:49:30 AM PDT by
