ARAUJIA SERICIFERA (Asclepiadaceae) H HHCl

Twining stems carry hairy, heart-shaped leaves. From midsummer onwards, a long succession of fragrant, chalice-shaped flowers appear. Also called "The Cruel Plant" because moths, pollinating by night, are often caught by their tongues, (or is it proboscises?) However, they are usually, but not always, released the next morning.

Sowing Instructions
