Medicinal Plants

Calendula is a small flowering herbaceous plant that grows to 3’ in height and 2’ wide. It produces bright orange flowers that are about 2” in diameter.

The flowers are used in medicinal formulas to treat various ailments of the skin, type II diabetes and regulate metabolism. Its constituents are generally extracted in tinctures and skin care products but can also be drunk as tea.

As plants, Calendula is grown as an annual in most climates but can be grown as a perennial in USDA zones 9-11 or overwintered in cold climates indoors/inside a greenhouse and do great in containers. Frost will kill them. They require full sun (6-8 hours).

Elephant Creeper (aka Hawaiian Baby Woodrose) is a woody perennial climbing vine native to the Indian subcontinent and introduced to numerous areas worldwide, including Hawaii, Africa, and the Caribbean. Though it can be invasive, it is often prized for its aesthetic and medicinal value.

These vines can grow up to 30 feet high if given the proper support. They produce lilac flowers and gigantic leaves that measure up to 1 foot in length and width. The leaves are a smooth leathery green (glabrous) on top with silvery fur (tomentose) on their undersides. The seeds of this strain, which are also coated in fur, contain more lysergic acid than either of its sister plants—Ololiuqui and Morning Glory.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Transplant permanently into a 20 gallon container if the plant cannot be planted in the ground (ie: in climates where temperatures fall below 40° F, where they must be overwintered indoors or inside a greenhouse). They may be temporarily transplanted into a smaller container of at least 3 gallons in size and potted up as needed. These vines require a trellis, fence, wall or type of support to climb on.

Harden off by slowly increasing their exposure to full day sun, up to 6-8 hours per day. They currently receive mostly morning and afternoon sun…and rarely the extreme midday sun of Southern Alabama (USDA zone 9b) where they're being propagated.

Argyreia Nervosa (Elephant Creeper) — LIVE PLANT

Live flowering vine that produces bright white 3-4” blooms and grows up to 30’ high and 3-4’ wide. Grown from organic seeds and started on a soilless seedling medium to make them more resistant to pathogens. Plants come rooted in a mixture of all organic soil, compost, perlite and sand. They've been fed mycorrhizae spores, fish emulsion and phosphorus rich fertilizer for optimal health and should be transplanted as soon as possible to prevent them from becoming root bound.

You will receive a very healthy 10-12 inch potted plant with robust root growth.

The seeds, which are used for healing by indigenous throughout India, Africa, North and South America, are concentrated in lysergic acid. This species is of the same family as Hawaiian Baby Woodrose and Morning Glory.
