Overview
Ylang Ylang Cananga odorata Aromatic Seeds 50 pcs Asian Flowering Tree with Fragrant Yellow Flowers for Collectors' Cultivation

A larger pack of 50 seeds of the Cananga odorata tree, commonly known as Ylang Ylang, is an economical choice for growers who wish to work with this rarely offered aromatic timber on a larger scale. The species grows naturally in the tropical forests of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, where its flowers serve as one of the essential raw materials in perfumery and aromatherapy due to the content of valuable essential oils. A characteristic feature of the plant is its long hanging petals of yellow-green colour arranged in panicles, complemented by large elliptical green leaves with noticeable venation. A larger quantity of seeds allows for systematic work on germination and nurturing seedlings, testing various cultivation methods, and raising several young plants for one's own collection or for a small hobby nursery.

Contents of the Package:

  • 50 seeds of Cananga odorata

For successful sowing, it is advisable to divide the seeds into several batches during the warm months and compare different seed preparation regimes, thereby determining the optimal procedure for specific growing conditions. Seeds germinate slowly and often unevenly, so patience must be maintained and a stable warm environment around 28 °C should be kept in a mini-greenhouse or under a transparent cover. Before sowing, thoroughly soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 24 to 48 hours to soften the hard seed coat. Young seedlings grow rapidly in good conditions and soon develop into plants with the characteristic large leaves that produce fragrant flowers in maturity. For successful long-term cultivation in the European climate, the plant must be provided with a heated winter garden or greenhouse with year-round temperatures above 15 °C and higher air humidity. This pack of 50 seeds of Cananga odorata is therefore an excellent foundation for growers who wish to engage with aromatic tropical trees in the long term and repeatedly.
