About
Hibiscus Trionum or Puarangi is the native Hibiscus, belonging to the Mallow or Malvaceae family. Although this herb is often found in our gardens, with flowers varying between white and pink, particularly in the North Island, very little is known about its medicinal and historical context. In Maori tradition, Puarangi is valued for its medicinal properties and its use in traditional healing practices. Maori healers utilized the plant's leaves and roots to treat various ailments.
Best Planting Time: Spring to Early Summer (September to December in New Zealand). Hibiscus trionum prefers warmer temperatures and plenty of sunlight, so planting in spring or early summer is ideal.
Growth Size: 30-60 cm tall (Herbaceous Plant)
What’s Inside
Your seed bomb has been wrapped in entirely recyclable packaging. The bomb is composed of powdered clay and compost, which provides ample nutrients for the 3-5 seeds contained inside, ensuring they are not overcrowded during germination.
How to plant? To plant, simply scatter the seed bombs over bare soil or patches in your garden. It is recommended to use half a litre of room temperature water to initiate the germination process. Once the seeds begin to germinate, you want to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. A good rule of thumb is to water with about 250 milliliters to 500 milliliters per seed bomb each day, depending on the weather conditions (less if it's rainy, more if it's hot and dry).
