Andrographis (Andrographis paniculata), packet of 30 seeds, organic
$4.95
Family: Acanthus (Acanthaceae)
Annual but long-season, fully maturing in 160 days. Can be harvested for the active portion (leaf) well prior to that time. Often self-seeding in the right conditions (extended warm conditions). May go from early flowering back into vegetation phase and then flower again in late season.
(Kalmegh, Chuan-xin-lian, King of Bitters) Annual, native to China and India, flowering spotted white to a height of 18 inches and equally broad. The upright follicle seedpods (pictured) are characteristic. The follicle ripens from green to brown and then summarily splits, shooting its seeds to a distance. Rare in the trade and highly desired plant. Traditional usage (TAM, TWM): bitter digestive, pandemics, vermifuge. Prefers full sun and regular garden conditions, and will even thrive in poor soil. Shady conditions will promote leaf growth and slow flowering and seed production. Start early in greenhouse and transplant out after frost. Space plants 2 feet apart–they become quite bushy when really happy. Cultivation: Use a sandy mix, press seed into surface, keep warm, moist and in the light. Germination in 10 days and ongoing.
Packet contains 30 seeds, Certified Organically Grown

Hello Amorntip, I note that Andrographis paniculata seed is currently out of stock. We have planted plants to field and look forward to a harvest in September/october. We will enable bulk purchasing at that time if the harvest is sufficiently weighty. Richo

Godwin –
I would like to buy as much as 10 to 20 grammes of your king of bitters seeds. But first I want to know if this plant can grow well in tropical countries like Nigeria? Secondly, what is the percentage germination rate of your seeds?

Admin Richo Cech –
Godwin, Andrographis grows very well in the tropics–it is from the tropics. Germination rate depends on conditions and time. Germination rate on the same seed lot can be zero or 90% depending on cultivation practices, I can give no guarantees, the seed is loaded with germination inhibiting compounds which must be leached prior to germination.

Hi Sarah,
Andrographis is a tropical weed. It grows well in hot, moist greenhouses in Washington State.

We really don’t offer annuals as plants and try to stick to perennials and biennials.
