Heart pea
Balloon Vine - Heart pea
Ref : N0262
- Cardiospermum halicacabum
Bag of 25 seeds
This climbing variety can reach 2 to 3 m in height. It has small white flowers and beautiful pea-sized black seeds with a white heart-shaped spot. These give the plant its name "Cardiospermum" ("heart seeds"). Inedible, they are highly decorative.
The leaves and stems of the heart pea are traditionally used to relieve rheumatism, skin problems and certain respiratory problems.
Sow under cover at a minimum temperature of 20°C. Emergence takes place between 15 and 20 days. When plants reach 8 to 10 cm, transplant at 70 cm intervals.
Peas do not tolerate drought, so keep the soil sufficiently moist by mulching. Avoid over-fertilization.
