DESCRIPTION

Wild Spider Flower Seeds

Start seeds inside 6 weeks before last frost date (or 8 weeks before expected transplanting date). Keep soil warm until emergence. Seeds will not germinate in cool soil and planting out too early may affect plant vigor. Harden off plants carefully before transplanting. Prepare fertile well drained soil. Transplant in late spring/summer (soil temperatures at least above 60°F) in a warm and sunny location. Fertilize as needed. Harvest when husk turns light brown and when fruit berries fall or are ready to fall. In Thailand, Wild spider flower is boiled and eaten with Thai Chili paste. Leaves are fermented with rice water as a pickle known as phak sian dong.
