Description: Acmella oleracea (Spilanthes oleracea) is a unique edible plant from South America (likely Brazil) that is also known as electric daisy toothache plant, or buzz buttons. Leaves, and especially flower heads and buds contain spilanthol, which excites the touch neurons in the mouth, creating a strong and memorable tingling or buzzing sensation with a lemony background flavor. The tingling is similar to that of Sichuan peppers. The young buds have the strongest effect, but the leaves and mature flowers can also be eaten. 30+ seeds from 2024. Surface sow seeds in a warm place any time, though spring is probably best. Typical potting soil should be sufficient. Keep moist, but not sopping. Very easy to grow and self-seeds, but susceptible to aphids, especially if water-stressed. Seeds should have high viability under the right conditions and remain viable for several years, however, since I cannot control the techniques and growing conditions used, I cannot warranty the seeds. However, I try to provide instructions to maximize your success, and hope that these plants grow well for you! I offer free shipping on additional purchases, so feel free to check out my other items.
