HAVE: Jewels of Opar for More Uncommon Asclepias/Milkweed
Comments (0)Jewels of Opar - Talinum paniculatum (25 seeds per pack - Several Packs for Trade) for Butterfly Milkweed species other than A. tubrosa and A. syriaca I'm also open to other trades - Check out my growing list!

Comments (0)I'd love to know if they are good berries for eating fresh. I've read a lot of good reviews on the flavor of Hinnomaki Reds, but nothing on Jewel or Red George, except for catalog descriptions. Also, growth habit - are they both fairly compact? Productive? Thanks!...See MoreJewels of opar 'Limon' ?
Comments (2)gardpondr, my regular Jewels of Opar (Talinum paniculatum) is very easy care. I've included a link for you. It does reseed with abandon, but it's not hard to control the seedlings as they are very distinctive (mine are chartreuse). If you don't want it to reseed, you can deadhead it after the flowers fade. I think it's a wonderful plant. Pam Here is a link that might be useful: Jewels of Opar...See MoreJewels of Opar - seeds
Comments (21)Nice looking plant! Speaking of taking cuttings, last fall my plant was in the way of other plants, so I hacked some chunks off of it and left them laying on the ground, where they almost immediately started making roots. I had to put those in the compost. This year, I've been deadheading old spikes when they become mostly balls of seeds and this plant seems like it's just getting started making serious stalks of blooms. For every one I cut off, 2 more grow. Just wish they were more upright. Kind of a messy-looking plant but the deadheading fixes that for a week or so. The bloom stalks don't attempt to keep growing if left under the plant. I haven't found any seedlings, which may be due to deadheading but I didn't think I was very strict about it at the end of last year....See Moreroselee z8b S.W. Texas
