Organic Chinese nettle with trident leaves
$5.00
Boehmeria tricuspis, Urticaceae
Ramie
Chinese nettle with trident leaves is a little-known perennial that thrives in shady situations in rich, humus-rich soil. This member of the nettle family has no stinging hairs! So you can brush up against it without taking any precautions. It is remarkable for its trident-shaped leaves, licorice-red stems and pinkish-white, pipe-cleaner-shaped flowers, which appear in late summer.
Very useful as well as pretty, it provides a quality textile fiber that can also be used to make paper. It's also a dye plant, producing a warm, soft buff color. And you can eat its leaves too! 80 cm. Hardy perennial up to zone 4.
bag = 225 seeds

Press seeds onto the surface of moist potting soil (no more than 2 mm deep) and store at 15°C-20°C until germination, which will take up to 30 days. Transplant the seedlings into individual pots and, when well rooted, transplant at a minimum of 30 cm between plants. Boehmeria looks great planted in groups.
