colored center, these plants make a lovely addition to any garden. Spilanthes leaves 
are mostly used as a culinary herb for their lemony flavor.

Part of the Asteraceae family, Spilanthes can grow up to twelve inches tall in mounding 
formations much like daisies. Spilanthes can branch outwards of up to two feet in height 
and has medium sized, dark green serrated leaves. Acmella oleracea produces continuous 
blooms from mid-July to early August.

frost has passed.
