Argyreia Nervosa (Hawaiian Baby Woodrose) - TRUE Oahu/Kauai Strain
More commonly known as Hawaiian Baby Woodrose or elephant creeper, this perennial flowering vine is in the same family as morning glory (Convolvulaceae family) and is related to Morning Glory and Rivea corymbosa (Ololiuqui).
Our seeds are organic, viable, easy-to-grow Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds wild-harvested less than six months ago in Hawaii on Oahu and Kauai Islands.
The name Hawaiian Baby Woodrose is said to be derived from the appearance of the seed pods which look like little wooden roses. Its leaves are heart-shaped and its trumpet-shaped flowers are white with deep purple throats. This species is not to be confused with Hawaiian Woodrose, which is another plant entirely. A. Nervosa is said to originate in Asia (Bangladesh) despite the plant’s more popular association with Hawaii. These seeds are of the most desirable (Hawaiian) strain and have a fuzzy seed coat.
A. nervosa plants are slow-growing at first but will grow rapidly after reaching about twelve inches and can easily reach thirty feet with maturity. Since A. Nerovsa is a vine, it will need structure to climb and is especially useful in providing floral décor for fences, mailbox and trellis. These plants can be grown outdoors all year round where temperatures do not freeze or be put in pots and be brought indoors for the winter elsewhere.
