Abroma augusta | Devil's Cotton | 20 Seeds

Abroma augusta, commonly known as devil’s cotton, is a tropical, shrubby plant native to South and Southeast Asia, valued for its unique floral structure. It typically grows between 6 to 10 feet tall, forming multiple woody stems with large, deeply lobed, dark green leaves that are rough and hairy to the touch. The plant produces striking, dark maroon to purplish flowers with twisted petals that resemble those of hibiscus, to which it is related. These flowers are mildly fragrant and bloom throughout the warm season, followed by woody, capsule-like fruits. Abroma augusta thrives in warm, humid climates and prefers rich, well-drained soil in partial to full sunlight. While it can be grown ornamentally, care should be taken when handling the plant, as the hairs on the leaves and stems can irritate the skin. Its exotic appearance makes it an interesting addition to tropical gardens. Zones 10-11 Germination To germinate Abroma augusta seeds, start by soaking them in warm water for 12 to 24
