The listing, 2 BIG FLORIDA COFFEE PLANTS WITH ROOTS ATTRACTS BUTTERFLIES & BIRDS FREE SHIPPING!!! has ended.
Wild coffee, a lesser known native Florida plants, is a lovely, graceful shrub that produces red berries similar to coffee beans. The shrub itself is a beauty; with glossy deep green leaves marked with deep grooves, giving the foliage a beautiful texture. It has dainty white flowers as shown in the picture. The berries appear in summer and late fall, after small white flowers and ripen to red.
The flowers attract butterflies and the berries attract birds, making the plant a great addition to a wildlife garden.
Though the "beans" contain no caffeine, they can be roasted and consumed as a coffee-like beverage; not exactly what some people look for when creating edible landscapes, but a fun and unique addition just the same.
These South Florida tropical plants can be cold sensitive and need a sheltered location. Wild coffee plants grow in sun or shade but seem to do best in partial to full shade. You are bidding on 2 seedling plants that will be shipped bare root and will be between 10 to 12 inches or more depending upon what is available at the time it is shipped.
