In the warmer months of the year appear the 4 inch wide sweetly fragrant flowers, often in pairs at the leaf base.The sweet, ovoid, orange-yellow fruits are eaten raw or made into juices, desserts, and flavorings. The very aromatic sweet pulp is the edible part and contains vitamins A, C, and K, phosphorus, iron, and calcium. It is also high in fiber like pectin that can make you feel full without increasing the calorie intake. Overall it’s rich in beneficial plant compounds, including carotenoids and polyphenols.Propagation can be by cuttings or seeds.

For complete transparency we include payment processing & Ebay fees in our shipping/handling cost.*DISCLAIMER*NO RETURNS/REFUNDS/REPLACEMENTS ON SEEDSMost specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate.Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. These factors are totally out of The Plant Attraction's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or mistakes. Since 2006 we have been doing our best to hand sort and provide the freshest, cleanest harvest that is free of defects and bugs.
