Overview
Ylang Ylang Cananga Odorata Seeds 10 pcs Tropical Tree with Yellow Fragrant Flowers for Sowing and Home Cultivation

Cananga odorata, widely known as Ylang Ylang, is a renowned aromatic tropical tree originating from Indonesia, the Philippines, and surrounding countries in Southeast Asia. This package contains 10 seeds, allowing you to grow your own young plant of this valued timber species at home. A characteristic feature of the plant is its long narrow curved petals in yellow to yellow-green colour, which grow from grape-like arranged stalks and form an unmistakable hanging flower in mature plants. Ylang Ylang flowers are the source of the essential oil of the same name, which is popular in perfumery and aromatherapy due to its strong sweet scent. The plant's habitus is characterised by elongated elliptical green leaves with visible venation, giving the crown a lush tropical appearance. In European conditions, it is grown exclusively as a container plant for greenhouses and conservatories.

Contents of the Package:

  • 10 seeds of Cananga odorata

Germination of Ylang Ylang is among long-term processes and requires a stable warm environment around 28 °C for several weeks to months. Before sowing, we recommend carefully soaking the seeds in lukewarm water for 24–48 hours and then sowing them in a permeable substrate in a covered tray or in a mini-greenhouse with higher humidity. Young seedlings develop slowly in the first years and gradually form the characteristic large leaves, on which the first fragrant flowers appear in maturity. For successful cultivation in the European climate, it is essential to keep the plant year-round in a heated conservatory or greenhouse with temperatures consistently above 15 °C and higher air humidity. During the summer months, the plant can be placed in a protected outdoor location with partial shade. This package of 10 seeds of Cananga odorata is therefore intended primarily for more experienced growers who have access to suitable warm environments and wish to engage with this famous aromatic timber long-term.
