Chiang Mai
White, pink and mauve flowers.
Description
Originally from India and Myanmar, Rose Balsam is an annual that grows throughout the tropics, subtropics, and warmer areas of the temperate zone. It succeeds in any reasonably good soil, will grow in sun or semi-shade and can flower year-round. About 20-75 cm tall, Rose Balsam has a thick, soft stem and spirally arranged leaves. The flowers are pink, red, mauve, lilac, or white, and 2.5-5 cm diameter. Seed collection must be done carefully as Rose Balsam seed capsules will spring open forcibly as the seed ripens to eject the seed a considerable distance. Traditionally, leaf juice is used to treat warts and snakebites, and the flower is applied to burns. Bees and other insects pollinate Rose Balsam so that it can be helpful in companion planting.
