Also called "False Sea Onion"

Albuca bracteata (syn. Ornithogalum caudatum, Ornithogalum longibracteatum)

Although this plant resembles an onion because of its large bulb, it is really not an onion at all, but a member of the Hyacinthaceae family which includes Hyacinths, Bluebells, and Star-of-Bethlehems. The pregnant onion plant is known for being pregnant because of the interesting way in which it propagates itself by producing small bulblets right on the side of the bulb itself. This plant will grow a 3 foot long flower stalk bearing little white flowers with green stripes. The leaves are long glossy green and have a similar appearance to the amaryllis. The Pregnant Onion plant is often grown as a houseplant, or outdoors as an ornamental in warmer climates. In the wild this plant is found on shaded slopes and forest margins from the southeastern Cape of South Africa to tropical East Africa. Grow in well-drained soil. Bulb grows above the medium. Note, no portion of the plant is edible. Hardy to 25° F.

Teasel

Mason bee house using hollow Teasel stems.

Teasel plants grow to about 6 to 8 feet high. Our teasel stands have plants with both pink and purple flowers as shown in the photo. Teasel heads produce thousands of seeds which birds love. Dried teasel heads are used for crafts, and also for carding wool. The stems are hollow and can be used in mason bee houses instead of straws (see photo). Bottom leaves form a cup around the stem and can hold water. Leaves and tap root are edible. Watch out for the spines.

The plants offered are first year rosette leaves. The flower stalk will grow the second year. These plants are biennial: leaves the first year, flower stalk the second year. Save the seeds, or tap the seed head to spread them around so you will have more teasel plants to take the place of the parent pant, and perhaps start a small stand of teasels.
