: Seed needs no special pretreatment.
A fast-growing annual to the size of a small shrub. But don't let its size deter you because its open, airy form lends itself well to a mixed flower border adding height and light texture while allowing for underplantings—a great filler plant for height. In summer peach-colored and tinged by pink or red pea flowers hang gracefully, swaying with the slightest breeze. Can be container-grown.
After flowering green seed pods develop as is typical for the legumes. The pods eventually mature to a tan to tannish-brown color consisting of a soft, papery texture—these are great for dried floral arrangement and remain on the plant through the winter until spring. Each seed is, quite uniquely, covered by its own papery covering inside the papery pod.
We also offer two other native species of Sesbania—another annual
Sesbania herbacea
(ebay.com/itm/144431717948) and a perennial
Sesbania drummondii
(ebay.com/itm/143198899494). Each listing has an option to purchase all three species—100 seeds of each species for a total of 300 seeds—at a discount.
Note
:
If you order more than one lot of one species of seeds, for example, you place two orders of 100 seeds we assume you want 200 seeds and your order will be sent in one seed packet.
