Jewels of Opar

Certified Organic

Talinum paniculatum

Tiny ruby spheres on delicate stems add a lovely, misty effect to bouquets.

Surround the bold dahlias, zinnias, and sunflowers in your bouquets with a mist of these ruby jewels. Easy to grow and fun to experiment with, the stems of Jewels of Opar add a framework of contrast to any arrangement, a wistfulness that takes the edge of big, bright blooms and helps the bouquet land as a more complete and balanced creation. Grows relatively quickly; harvest anytime after the teensy fruits form. A blend of flowers and ruby beads can be a really nice effect.
