Selected for its excellent branching and compact habit, Sriracha reaches about 24 to 30 inches high and wide, every bit of which sports bright blooms at the height of the long, long season. And it's ready in no time -- sow it indoors just before your last scheduled spring frost, then plant it out when the soil is warm. You'll be enjoying the first blooms in no time!
Sriracha's blooms have a papery consistency that may remind you of Bougainvillea or Oriental Poppies. This gives them a delicate look, but in fact they are unstoppable, continuing to arise freely throughout summer and into autumn in most climates. This plant loves heat and doesn't mind drying out between waterings, so you can plant it fearlessly in containers without worrying about it wilting in the sweltering August temperatures!
Grow Sriracha as an annual, filling beds and pots with these super-quick, super easy-to-grow plants. They are both upright and spreading, filling in nicely and never needing support. You won't believe the flower power! Sriracha is the first Bat-faced Cuphea to be available from seed in separate colors, and we hope many more will follow! Packet is 10 seeds.

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.
