Overview
Seeds of Bomarea multiflora 5 pcs tropical climbing plant with orange bell-shaped flowers for sowing and home cultivation

Bomarea multiflora is a rarely offered climbing perennial plant originating from the mountainous regions of northwestern South America, particularly Colombia, Ecuador, and neighbouring countries. This small pack contains 5 seeds, allowing you to try cultivating this unusual Andean climber at home. The main attraction of the plant is its dense drooping clusters of bell-shaped flowers in a vibrant orange-red colour on the outside and yellow-orange on the inside, adorned with striking dark spots in the throat, creating an eye-catching appearance reminiscent of a miniature chandelier. Complementing the flowers are narrow lanceolate green leaves arranged along the climbing stems. The plant is popular among collectors of unusual plants and lovers of Andean flora who seek a unique species for a greenhouse, conservatory, or well-lit interior.

Germination of Bomarea seeds can be long and irregular, so patience is required and stable conditions should be maintained for several weeks to months. For better uniformity of germination, it is recommended to soak the seeds in lukewarm water for several hours before sowing, softening their coats. Young plants grow relatively slowly in the first year, but gradually form underground rhizomes and begin to produce long climbing stems that require suitable support. In maturity, this plant becomes a decorative climber with stunning hanging inflorescences, capable of enlivening a well-lit space in a conservatory or greenhouse. This pack of 5 seeds of Bomarea multiflora is therefore intended primarily for advanced growers who wish to embark on a long-term project with this unusual Andean climbing plant.
