A small (20-30 feet tall) tree in sub-tropical regions, it is otherwise grown as an annual for adding vertical accent and spiky foliage texture to showy container plantings. Also grown as a house and conservatory plant. When grown as an annual it will reach 3 to 6 feet tall during the summer growing season. The long (3-6 feet), lance-shaped, narrow, leathery foliage arises from a woody stem, and often has a red center vein. The creamy, sweet-smelling, 1/2- 1/4 inch diameter flowers are only seen on larger plants. Each flower is shaped like a shallow cup and they are borne in large, 51/2 feet long panicles in the summer

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
