The Blood Flower soon tells you how it got its name when the two-tone red and orange blooms appear atop the handsome foliage. It's an easy-to-grow tropical plant. Use it as a perennial in the warmer parts of the country or grow it as an annual if your winters are too chilly. It's also popular as an indoor pot plant, but it will need a sunny windowsill. Despite its exotic looks, the seeds are easy to grow and it may even tend to self-seed in warmer gardens.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Asclepias seeds germinate easily, but they don’t like being transplanted, so sow them where you would like them to bloom. Over with a very light layer of fine soil and keep them well watered until they seedlings emerge. As they establish themselves, you can gradually reduce watering.

    I haven't been able to plant these yet as I have been in the transition of moving house. But I cannot wait to plant them and watch them grow into a beautiful plant
