The listing, LAST ONE--LAST ONE!!! "SEA ONION"~N*O*T PREGNANT ONION~RARE~RARE~RARE!! LAST ONE--!! has ended.

Here today, we have a VERY RARE and HARD TO FIND plant!!!!!!!!! It is called a SEA ONION. This is N*O*T a "PREGNANT ONION"--although, I believe they are "kinned" somewhere down the line.
This plant is popular in traditional African medicine and forklore, and grows naturally in the wild in Africa. They use it to treat everything from heart conditions to infertility. They have used it soooo much, that it is actually in danger of being wiped out and extinct in the wild. This bulb has been propagated from tissue--
This is a completely fascinating plant. I FINALLY found a couple of bulbs to purchase (after many months of searching for it). Upon getting the bulbs, I simply planted it exactly as you would a pregnant onion--HALF WAY UP THE BULB--being careful NOT to bury the bulb. I put it in the greenhouse and did not have to wait long before--WAAAA-LAAA---I had GROWTH. This plant has very FINE feathery growth that comes out of the top of the bulb.
The bulb on this one is about the size of a gumball and can (an do) grow very much larger---as it stores moisture in the bulb itself.
This plant needs well drained soil (as to not ROT the bulb). I suggest even with well draining potting soil, to add a small amount of SAND---which is what this one has and is growing in!!!
This plant can be grown in a pot (can NOT be planted in the yard). You CAN place it outside in the summer--but it must NOT be exposed to afternoon sun!!!! MORNING SUN ONLY!! It must be brought INSIDE in winter months.
You will not receive the plant shown in the above photos--photos are all stock--WITHOUT the POT--POT NOT INCLUDED!! It will be sent with enough soil and moisture for a safe trip. I do suggest that you have your soil and a suitable small pot ready to plant it upon arrival.

SORRY---I WILL N*O*T DO A GIN!!

I OFFER FREE SHIPPING to save you $$$$!!

GOOD LUCK and HAPPY GARDENING!!

They are---I love it---but hard to find them. The LEAVES are really wispy and will climb. They are funny...

I had to separate the 2 larger bulbs after they took over the pot. I have given away so many starter babies.
