Indian Ginseng / Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

35 SEK

<h4 data-mce-fragment="1">SEEDS (25pcs/bag)</h4> Common name: Ashwagandha, Indian Ginseng, Winter Cherry, <meta charset="utf-8">Asandh Scientific name: Withania somnifera Family: Solanaceae <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history & use:</h4> Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal plant that has been used for its medicinal value for thousands of years, mainly for physical as well as mental fatigue. The <meta charset="utf-8">adaptogenic properties of Ashwagandha are thought to balance any imbalances in the body - partly through lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The root also has anti-inflammatory properties and is considered soothing for the nervous system. Perceived effects when using Ashwagandha are improved cognitive performance in the form of memory enhancement and concentration capability as well as overall higher energy levels. Ashwagandha is furthermore used in exercise supplements for increased muscle growth. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><meta charset="utf-8">Cultivation:</h4> Ashwagandha can be grown in a bright window or under artificial light. This is a plant that thrives in dry climates and therefore has no problems growing inside as a houseplant. But the plant <meta charset="utf-8">can advantageously be put outside in the summer to receive extra sunlight. However, in the most favorable climates of Spain, Italy, Albania, Greece and Turkey (mainly adjacent to the coastal areas) Ashwagandha can be grown outdoors all year around as a perennial. As the plant grows larger, it is beneficial to give good space for the roots, as it is mainly the root growth that you are interested in when growing and harvesting Ashwagandha. When the plant has grown, you can let the soil dry out in between waterings as this prevents troubles such as lack of oxygen in the roots and further contributes to increased root growth. The Ashwagandha is very drought resistant once established. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Sowing:</h4> <a> </a> <a>Sow and let grow in well-drained soil. Cover the seeds with a 1 cm layer of soil or perlite. Keep the soil moist during the seed stage.</a> <a> </a> <h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><a>Characteristics:</a></h4> <a> </a> <a>Lifespan: Perennial Location: Sun/Part shade Height: 75 cm Germination Time: 1-3 weeks USDA Zone: 10-12 </a> <a> </a>

Japansk Lönn 80-120 cm (Acer palmatum)

From 345 SEK

Japansk Lönn i olika storlekar Höjd: <ul> <li>80-100 cm</li> <li>100–120 cm [<meta charset="utf-8">ENDAST UPPHÄMTNING I BUTIK]</li> </ul> Trivialnamn: Japansk Lönn Vetenskapligt namn: Acer palmatum Familj: Sapindaceae <h4>Växthistoria & användning</h4> Japansk lönn är ett lövträd med ursprung i Japan, Korea och Kina och har odlats i århundraden för sitt graciösa växtsätt och sina starka höstfärger. Den används både som prydnadsträd, i bonsaiform och i naturträdgårdar där man vill addera struktur, skugga och färg. Unga blad är ätbara i små mängder och kan användas som garnering. I Japan friteras ibland bladen som en säsongsrätt. Trädet går även att tappa på sav tidigt på våren – särskilt i kallare klimat. Savens sockerhalt är låg men kan drickas som den är eller kokas till en tunn sirap, på samma sätt som lönnsirap. Bäst savflöde får man på varma soliga dagar efter en natts frost. Bladen har även använts praktiskt för att hjälpa till att bevara rotfrukter och äpplen – de har lagts som skyddande lager kring skörden för att hålla den fräsch längre. Inom folkmedicin har bladen använts i kylande omslag. Växtens främsta funktion är dock estetisk – som formgivare i trädgårdsrum, där dess siluett och bladfärg spelar huvudrollen. <h4>Odling</h4> Trivs i halvskugga till sol, gärna i vindskyddat läge. Väldränerad, fuktighetshållande jord med lätt surhet är idealiskt. Japansk lönn kan odlas i kruka, särskilt mindre sorter, men trivs även i mark på skyddad plats. Skyddas mot stark vårsol och blåst för att undvika bladskador. Tål inte uttorkning – jämn vattning är viktig. <h4>Egenskaper</h4> Årighet: Flerårig Växtläge: Halvskugga till sol Höjd: 2–4 meter Växtzon: 1–3 (4-5 i skyddat väldränerat läge)

Japanese Raisin Tree (Hovenia dulcis)

50 SEK

SEEDS (20pcs/bag) Common names: Japanese Raisin Tree, Oriental Raisin Tree, Raisin Tree, Chi-Chao Li Scientific name: Hovenia dulcis Family: Rhamnaceae Plant history & use: The Japanese Raisin Tree is a hardy tree found in Asia, from eastern China and Korea to the Himalayas where it grows at altitudes up to 2,000 m above sea level. The fleshy, sweet and fragrant fruits are eaten raw or cooked. When dried, they take on a taste and appearance reminiscent of raisins. An extract made from seeds, branches and young leaves can be eaten like honey and is also used to make wine and candy (Facciola, S.). The seeds contain about 15% protein and 7.8% fat (Duke. JA & Ayensu. ES). The raisin tree has long been used in traditional Chinese, Korean and Japanese medicines to treat a variety of ailments, including hangovers (Hyun TK et al.). The fruits of the raisin tree are already mentioned in materia medica from the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century. Modern research confirms that the flavanonol ampelopsin/dihydromyricetin (DHM), found in plants in the genera Ampelopsis and Cercidiphyllum , can reduce symptoms of alcohol intoxication and withdrawal (Reich L.). Extracts of Hovenia dulcis are commercially available and marketed as a remedy for the after-effects of excessive alcohol consumption. The tree is traditionally known for its health benefits when consumed in tea form. The wood from the Raisin Tree is hard and well suited for making furniture. Culture: Thrives well in well-drained, sandy clay soils in a sunny and warm location. It is best protected from frost in the first few years, after which the tree can withstand temperatures down to -15°C. However, if the tree is allowed to harden off slowly to the cold, the tissue can be allowed to mature (harden) and then the tree can be hardy down to -25°C (Huxley. A.). Avoid compact and wet soils. The tree is considered fast-growing and usually does not grow more than 5-6 meters tall in our climate. In other parts of the world it reaches heights of up to 30 meters. Can be topped to keep as a bush or allowed to grow to become more naturally tree-shaped. The raisin tree is drought tolerant, but the quality of the fruit can be significantly affected if the water supply is not good. Watering 2-3 times a week is recommended during spring and summer. The fruits usually ripen late in the season, around October. The fruits are harvested when they have dried on the tree, so there is no need for manual drying of the fruits. The raisin tree is self-fertile and produces abundant fruit at maturity. Sowing: NOTE: These seeds have been stratified (cold period) and can therefore be sown immediately after receipt. Sow the seeds in moist soil. Cover with a thin layer (about 1 cm) of soil. Keep the seeds moist. For some seeds, germination can occur as late as a year later, i.e. another cold period later. Features: Year: Perennial Growing position: sun / light shade Height: 4-30 m Germination time: 1-12 months Growing zone: 1-4

Jiaogulan Plant 20-40 cm (Gynostemma pentaphyllum)

~~295 SEK~~ 265 SEK

1st plant Jiaogulan: 2 years old - current height 20-40 cm Trivial Name: Jiaogulan, Gynnostemma,<meta charset="utf-8"> Sweet Tea Vine, Southern Ginseng, Miracle Plant, Amachazuru Scientific name: Gynostemma pentaphyllum Family: Cucurbitaceae Plant history & use: Jiaogulan, also known as the "herb of immortality," is one of the lesser-known traditional Chinese herbs. For centuries, it was used almost exclusively by the people of a mountainous region in southern China where the herb grows wild. <meta charset="utf-8">Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as we know it today originated in the center of the country,<meta charset="utf-8"> far from this region. For this reason, Jiaogulan is not included in the TCM standardized list of medicines and is therefore not used to the same extent as other Chinese medicinal herbs. <meta charset="utf-8">In the 1970s, China conducted a comprehensive census. It was discovered that residents of certain regions, mainly Guizhou province, were living longer than average - often more than 100 years. It turned out that the oldest residents had regularly drunk Jiaogulan tea throughout their lives. Partly from this incident comes the nickname "herb of immortality", but also from the numerous scientific studies that have been conducted on the mysterious herb. Modern recognition of Jiaogulan outside of China stems from research into sugar substitutes. When examining the sweetening agent in Jiaogulan, saponins were found that were identical to those found in <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/koreansk-ginseng-panax-ginseng" title="Korean Ginseng (Panax ginseng)" style="color: #4e991d;" target="_blank" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;">Korean Ginseng ( Panax ginseng )</a> . Further research discovered several additional saponins that were comparable or identical to those found in P. ginseng. The saponins in P. ginseng are called ginsenosides, while those found in Jiaogulan are called gypenosides. Compared to Korean Ginseng, Jiaogulan has the advantage of being much easier to grow and ready to harvest much earlier. <meta charset="utf-8">Today, Jiaogulan is well used in China and widely consumed by those interested in its reputed rejuvenating properties. The leaves taste sweet and are used to make tea. Can also be cooked - in a wok for example. The herb is used today in the treatment of diabetes and a number of other ailments. There is much to read about this herb for those interested. Culture: Jiaogulan has a wide range in nature: it stretches all the way from China to Korea and Japan, down to Southeast Asia and even to New Guinea. It is a plant that thrives in a variety of climates. It is a climber that can reach a height of 8 meters. You can either grow it against something it can wrap around, or let it creep along the ground in low-growing shrubs. Jiaogulan should be able to grow in the majority of Sweden's zones 1-2, it can handle temperatures down to -10°C. It prefers to grow in a loamy, well-drained but moisture-retaining soil (typical humus character) - potting soil works well. Place in a sunny location. Plant in a pot and overwinter in a greenhouse the first year to give the plant slightly milder conditions. You can also overwinter it in a storage room, basement, etc. if there is enough light. If the plant survives the first year with protected overwintering, you can try planting the plant out in the ground next spring to give it a try to overwinter without protection the coming winter. You can always set up windbreaks made of non-woven fabric and stakes around the plant and cover the base with straw to create milder conditions when growing directly in the open field. Alternatively, move the plant indoors during the winter and place it outside during the summer months. If your plant has grown properly after the summer, top it and make tea from the leaves to adapt it to its new indoor growing space. With this method, it is possible to grow Jiaogulan throughout Sweden. Well suited to growing as a ground cover in permissive climates. Features: Year: Perennial Growing position: sun Height: up to 8 meters Growing zone: 1-2

Already thousands of years ago, Carob - as the dried bean pods are called - were used as a counterweight when weighing gold and precious stones. The kernels (seeds) inside the pod always weighed 0.2 grams and that is where the measurement <meta charset="utf-8">carat comes from. Carob has also been used as a cough medicine and sold as candy in pharmacies in the past. The pods have a natural sugar content of 30-50% and this is believed to be one of the reasons why they were eaten as a snack in Ancient Rome. A known area of use today is as a substitute for cocoa, in roasted and ground form. Unlike cocoa, carob is free from i.a. caffeine and theobromine. Another common use today is the so called Locust Bean gum extracted from the seeds. Locust Bean gum is a thickener used in different foods, among others: ice cream and <meta charset="utf-8">crème fraîche. Carob contains many different vitamins, e.g. vitamins A and B2 and has a taste reminiscent of caramel. <h4 style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;">Cultivation: </h4> <p style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;">In its natural environment around the Mediterranean, the Carob tree grows to 10–15 meters and produces pods up to 25cm long. <p style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;">In the most favored areas of Northern Europe, such as Cornwall, England, the Carob tree is reported being able to grow and overwinter outdoors. In the rest of Europe, it is best grown in pots that are outdoors during the summer and overwintered indoors.  <p style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;">However, the microclimate may vary in one and the same region. The main point to consider should be that the Carob tree can withstand subzero temperatures down to about -8 ºC before the tree takes damage - if you can provide such conditions above that limit it is theoretically possible for the Carob tree to grow outdoors all year round. But it should be considered an experiment in itself and it's recommended to perform it when the tree has gained <meta charset="utf-8">somewhat growth. Other than that, the Carob tree is drought tolerant and thrives in well-drained/rocky soil in sunny locations. Avoid damp environments and heavy clay soils. Let the soil dry up between waterings and add nutrients during the summer months if desired. Transplanting to a larger pot is preferably done before the taproot (the thickest main root) has grown down to the bottom. As with all plants, restricted space for taproot growth is significantly decreasing growth rate of the entire plant.  Carob trees growing in their natural environment, the Mediterranean Basin, are high-producing trees capable of yielding 400 kilos of bean pods each year. <h4 style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;">Sowing:</h4> Soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 3 days before sowing.

Caper Bush (Capparis spinosa)

<h4 data-mce-fragment="1">SEEDS (20pcs/bag)</h4> Common name: Caper, Caper Bush, Flinders Rose Scientific name: Capparis spinosa Family: Capparaceae <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history & use:</h4> The Caper Bush is a Mediterranean plant that have a long history of being cultivated for its edible unopened flower buds. After picking, they are put in salt to release bitter compounds and to bring out the sourness. This is the kind of capers we often see canned in stores. You can also let the flowers remain on the plant until they eventually turn into fruits, the fruits can then similarly be put into salt to be made ready for consumption.  Preserving capers is very easy. It can be broken down into 4 steps: <ul> <li>Put the fresh flower buds/fruits in a bowl of salt</li> <li>Leave the buds/fruits in the bowl with salt for 3-7 days (or longer if desired).</li> <ul> <li>Drain the water that accumulates in the bowl and add some extra salt every day.</li> </ul> <li><meta charset="utf-8">When preservation is finished, rinse off the salt from the buds/fruits and soak them in water. Soaking time is up to your own taste, but recommended minimal time is 15 minutes. You can soak for several hours if desired. Grab a spoon and make a taste test every once in a while to find the flavor that suits you.</li> </ul> You can also pickle younger shoots and leaves from the Caper Bush. If you want to use slightly older leaves and shoots, a tip is to blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before pickling. Mix your caper shoots & leaves with salt and vinegar, leave in the fridge for about 1 month. Ready to eat. Cultivation of capers has been traced back as far as 7,000 years ago in present-day Turkey, Jordan and Syria. There, it is believed to have been used for both culinary and medicinal applications. In medicinal use, all plant parts were used, most prominently as a digestive aid. In tropical & sub-tropical food forests (agroforestry) it is effectively used in the lower layer as a ground cover plant. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation:</h4> In its natural environment, capers often grow in high temperatures and soils with poor water and nutrient availability. A typical adaptation to a nutrient-poor environment is its very widespread root system, which makes it suitable as a soil binder in shorelines or eroding soils etc. In its natural environment, it is often growing on rocky cliffs and slopes. It grows on the walls of many ancient Mediterranean fortifications. The caper is an easily cultivated bush for home growers in the Mediterranean region (Spain, Italy, Greece, the coastal Balkan countries and south & west Turkey). <meta charset="utf-8">The Caper Bush develops an extensive root system, hence it grows best in deep, medium-textured, loamy soils. In temperate climate, capers are best grown in pots in bright locations and overwintered frost-free. Capers are characterized by an initial upright growth to later grow long horizontal lateral shoots that spread along the ground - or hang down along the wall that the plant has mounted. The bush is productive and in optimal conditions there can be good harvests of up to 3000 buds per bush and season. In temperate climate, you can't really expect the same results, but you can do your best to mimic the plant's natural environment by: <ul data-mce-fragment="1"> <li data-mce-fragment="1">put it in direct sunlight throughout the summer months,</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">let it grow in well-drained Mediterranean soil </li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">let the soil dry out between waterings.</li> </ul> It's recommended to transplant your Caper Bush into a larger pot as the plant grows bigger. As mentioned earlier, you harvest either the unopened flower buds or the fully formed fruits. If the flower bud is allowed to bloom, the bush produces sweetly scented, spectacular flowers. The Caper Bush can flower already in the first year sown from seed. Caper buds are usually picked in the morning since that is when they're believed to have their highest aromatic value. The Caper plant an be propagated via cuttings. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Sowing:</h4> Caper seeds germinate irregularly. To create better germination conditions: <ul data-mce-fragment="1"> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 1 day</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Place the seeds between two pieces of damp tissue paper/moist sand and leave in the fridge for 4-6 weeks</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Soak the seeds one final time in lukewarm water<meta charset="utf-8"> for 1 day</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep in sowing soil</li> </ul> The roots of the young caper plants are usually easily disturbed and are sensitive to damage when transplanting. A good solution can be to sow the seeds in <a title="Degradable growing trays 10-pack" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/smarta-redskap/products/nedbrytbara-odlingsbrickor-10-pack" target="_blank">degradable growing trays</a> that you can seamlessly transplant into a larger pot without disturbing the roots. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Characteristics:</h4> Lifespan: Perennial Location: Sun Height: 50 cm Germination Time: 1-12 weeks USDA Zone: 8-10

1 Silk tree: 2 years old - current height 30-40 cm Common names: Silk Tree, Persian Silk Tree, Pink Silk Tree, Tree of Happiness, Mimosa Scientific name: Albizia julibrissin Family: Fabaceae Plant history & use: The silk tree is an eye-catching tree whose origins can be traced to the area around Iran & Azerbaijan through China, to Korea. The tree is characterized by its fluffy, light pink flowers that resemble a silky feather crown. Its beauty has made it a prized tree all over the world. The silk tree has also been used for its edible and medicinal properties for centuries. Young leaves are eaten as a vegetable - boiled or steamed. They are described as having an aromatic taste. Flowers are also cooked for consumption. A historically known kitchen plant in its native regions. <meta charset="utf-8"> The plant's bark, leaves, and flowers & flower buds are used to make teas and extracts with reputed health benefits. Flowers are harvested when they open and the bark is harvested in spring or late summer to be dried for later consumption. Tea made from the flowers is said to have a delicate, sweet taste and relieve stress, tension and even minor depression. This is probably one of the reasons why the tree is also called "The Tree of Happiness". Please decide for yourself if this is true for you. You can also make jelly from newly bloomed flowers. In traditional Asian medicine, it has been used to calm nerves and as a mild sedative for sleep disorders. Flowers have been observed to be effective in attracting bees & butterflies (as well as hummingbirds in America). <meta charset="utf-8"> This tree, like other plants in the Fabaceae family, has a partnership with soil bacteria that bind nitrogen from the air and fix it to the tree's roots. In this way, the surrounding area is supplied with nitrogen that would otherwise be inaccessible to the vegetation - that is why we call plants that have such a partnership Soil Improvers . The wood is also used to make furniture. Culture: The silk tree can be grown outdoors in the more favorable locations in Sweden (approximately from Uppsala and south according to growing zones).<meta charset="utf-8"> However, the tree should be hardy down to -25<meta charset="utf-8"> °C, so geographical location is often ambiguous and success depends largely on the actual growing location. Thrives best in warm and sunny places - a good location is in a wind-sheltered position against a south-facing wall. Young shoots can be sensitive to cold and frost. If you grow outdoors, protect the tree during the winter, for example with straw around the base and windbreaks in the form of non-woven fabric attached to stakes around the tree if it is in an exposed position. This probably only needs to be done the first winter after purchasing these 2-year-old trees. <meta charset="utf-8"> The silk tree can otherwise be grown in a pot and overwintered in a protected place. <meta charset="utf-8">The silk tree is a fast-growing tree with a relatively low water requirement that can withstand direct sun. The tree prefers well-drained soil and moderate watering. More specifically: water heavily and infrequently, to encourage a higher growth rate. Fairly drought-tolerant. Resistant to pruning. Can be shaped to grow next to a house wall, for example. Pruning is done in late winter or early spring. Features: Year: Perennial Growing position: sun Height: 5-7 m Growing zone: 1-4

Karen Chili (Capsicum annuum)

40 SEK

SEEDS (10pcs/bag) Common name: Karen Chili, <meta charset="utf-8"> Wiang Ping Chili, Karen Chili, Karen Chili Pepper Scientific name: Capsicum annuum Family: Solanaceae Plant history & use: <meta charset="utf-8"> Karenchilin is named after and originates from an ethnic group in the mountainous regions between Burma and Thailand. The Karen people have lived in the region for over 2000 years and were one of the first inhabitants of the area. Karenchilin is hardier than other tropical chilies. The chilies typically have a high heat and a distinctive fruity and sweet flavor that really makes its mark in the dishes it is used in. <meta charset="utf-8"> Karenchilin is easily recognized by its green, yellow, orange & red fruits with a slightly dented surface. Fruits in different stages are often visible on the plant at the same time a little into the season, hence the colorful impression of the plant. Another characteristic of Karenchilin is that its fruits usually always point upwards on the plant. <meta charset="utf-8"> The Scoville Heat Units (SHU) of the Karen Chili can vary depending on growing conditions, but it typically ranges between 50,000 and 100,000 SHU. This places the Karen Chili at a medium to hot level on the Scoville scale, a level that most other Thai Chili peppers fall into. Culture: <meta charset="utf-8"> Karen Chili can be grown both in pots and in the garden. It needs well-drained soil and a sunny location to thrive. It thrives in a warm and humid environment - both during germination and growth. Under optimal conditions, it is a high-yielding variety that can produce an abundance of fruit during the summer months. However, it is one of the hardier tropical chili varieties in its ability to grow and produce in colder temperatures. It is not frost hardy. So it is grown as a perennial, which is recommended, it should overwinter in a temperature of at least 15 degrees. Can also be grown as an annual. <meta charset="utf-8"> The growth habit is bushy and plants usually reach a height of 60 cm. <meta charset="utf-8"> All chili peppers originate from Central and South America. The genus has since been spread around the world by colonists, missionaries and traders, and new species have emerged through adaptation to the environment. Chili peppers are generally easy to grow. They thrive in sunny, warm locations. They can be grown indoors in windows. All chili peppers are perennial and can produce fruit all year round if given the right conditions. Heat, light, light nutrition and moisture contribute to continuous growth & production of the plant. If you want the plant to produce fruit also during the winter months, use a grow light to supplement the sunlight, possibly grow only under grow light. Keep the soil evenly moist and allow it to dry out slightly between waterings. Fertilize 2-3 times a week to ensure abundant fruit production. The fruits range in color from green (yellow-orange) to red. The fruits can be eaten at all stages of maturity. 2-6 cm. Sowing: Pre-grow indoors at the beginning of the year. Place the seeds in lukewarm water 1 day before sowing. Moisten the soil and press the seeds lightly against the surface. Cover with 1 cm of soil. Place in bright light and keep the seeds moist.

Kinesisk Blomsterkornell 'China Girl' i olika storlekar 40-80 cm (Cornus kousa var. chinensis)

From 585 SEK

Kinesisk Blomsterkornell av sorten 'China Girl' <ul> <li>Höjd: 40-50 cm (C5 kruka)</li> <li>Höjd 60-80 cm (C5 kruka)</li> </ul> Bilden är enbart ett exempel och representerar inte den exakta storleken hos de olika varianterna Trivialnamn: Blomsterkornell Vetenskapligt namn: Cornus kousa Familj: Cornaceae Växthistoria & användning: Blomsterkornell är ett tätvuxet litet buskträd som härstammar ifrån Nordostasien. På våren bildar den mångtaliga klart vita blommor som lyser upp skuggiga partier i trädgården. I slutet av sommaren bildar trädet egendomliga rosaröda ätbara frukter på 2-3 cm i diameter. Dessa frukter kan man göra sylt eller baka paj på. I Asien gör man juice av dem samt fermenterar till vin. Barken på grövre stammar flagnar och skapar ett vackert mönster av varierade färger. Även bladen på trädet får en vacker klarröd/orange färg på hösten. Odling: Blomsterkornell är ett lövfällande träd som trivs bra i större delen av Sverige. Trädet är relativt långlivat (50-150 år) och är härdigt mot kyliga klimat. Till skillnad från många växter trivs blomsterkornell bra i skuggiga lägen. Det ska även gärna vara vindskyddat. Står trädet i direkt sol tenderar trädet att producera fler frukter, men av mindre storlek. En optimal växtplats för blomsterkornellen är under ett eller flera högre lövfällande träd - som ger skugga och tillför organiskt material till marken - omgiven av ytterligare växtlighet i olika skikt. Detta bidrar till den fuktiga, vindskyddade och halvt skuggiga miljö som blomsterkornellen växer bäst i. Trädets klarlysande blomning kan dessutom lysa upp en annars skuggig "dunge". Blomsterkornellen har låga skötselkrav och ger stora återkommande skördar varje år. Av ovan nämnda anledningar är blomsterkornellen ett utmärkt träd att ha i en skogsträdgård. Har du ingen sådan plats på din odlingsyta, funkar en växtplats med morgonsol och eftermiddagsskugga även bra. Egenskaper: Årighet: Flerårig Växtläge: skugga/halvskugga Höjd: 2-3 m Växtzon: 1-3

Seeds from unusual and ancient cultivated plants are found here. Many of the plants have long been used by man for their useful properties - it may be about edibles as well as medicinal and household properties.

All seed varieties in the store contribute to a functional addition to the cultivation. Our seeds consist of open-pollinated and hand-pollinated heirloom varieties, we believe that a genetic diversity in the garden contributes to a healthier ecosystem that extends beyond the borders of our cultivations.

Plants are divided based on their different functions and characteristics - e.g. "Fruits & Berries" and "Medicinal plants" - via the filtering function on the right (below on mobile).

Here you will find both super beautiful shoe models that are created specifically for gardening time and also other models that are well suited for different occasions in the garden. After our own search for good gardening shoes, we found the brand Rouchette, where we especially came to love their ankle boots insulated with neoprene. for the warmth and comfort they provide.

They have also designed a practical sole where no soil gets stuck and is taken into the home - the Frotte&Go system, exclusively developed and used by Rouchette. Rouchette is a family business from France for which we have become a dealer for good reason.

Without exaggeration, these are the most comfortable and practical boots we have ever had. That's where the idea came from to share their usefulness with other growers. The ankle boots are also great for the stable.

You can use the filter function below on the left to easily find the shoes you are looking for.
