Spilanthes Acmella – Toothache Plant also known as Electric Daisies and Jambu, is related to the daisy however, it looks very different. It is sprawling and much-branched, has olive-green to purple-flushed ovate leaves, and bears flowers that are borne on cone-shaped heads that are a yellowish-maroon color. These flowers are often called buzz buttons and are actually clusters of many tiny flowers. This plant has medicinal benefits, and it’s commonly used for toothaches, but it is also used for other issues such as inflammation and gastrointestinal problems. In some parts of the world, this plant is used in food. It has a strong, bitter taste that will add some unique flavor to dishes. Every part of this plant is used as herbal medicine.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
