Talinum Jewelry of Ophar

Talinum paniculatum

Densely branched plants with chartreuse foliage produce multiple cuttings over a long harvest window (4–6 weeks). Talinums produce small pink flowers that quickly mature into glossy , pearl-like seed pods in shades of deep red, chocolate, and copper. It is best to harvest when the stems turn deep red and most of the flowers on the stem have matured into seed pods. A must for fall bouquets!
