The listing, 3D;) DOUBLE BLOOMING PURPLE TRUMPET SEEDS free Shipping has ended.
This trade is for 20 seeds. From my personal garden. Annual in the snowy north, pre-annual in the south. This trumpet flower has large hand size flowers with cloudy white centers, and are surely Conversation pieces in the garden. Grows in zones 3 - 11 Non fragrant. Even the stems of this plant is purple. Eggplant purple !! I plant in seed pots three or four seeds together (as I like the fuller bushier plant. ) and transplant to my garden when all danger of frost has passed , (usually the day after Easter ) if you plant single seeds the plant has A tendency to look more like a bonsai bush. The seed pods are about the size of golf balls and even have the little indentions and are also cream and purple and hold about 1000 seeds Per pod. I harvest them when they just start to split. Each flower will produce a seedpod !! I hope you will enjoy these in your garden as much as I do. Happy gardening!!
Questions & Comments
Actually the pods are soft golf ball sized feels kinda like cork. When they split a bit I cut off from the branch and dry in an ole cup. You must be thinking of the white that has spines all over it those I cut off and use gloves. Insides are soft once you get past the spines. You can also harvest before they turn brown. Green stage they are soft and can be handled by hand.
I have white, yellow, double purple in my gardens and love them. Hope this helps you for your future harvesting, cause it's a shame to miss out!! ;). Dusty.
