Product Details

Vanilla planifolia is the orchid behind real vanilla, a climbing vine whose cured seed pods flavor the world's desserts. This batch is even larger than our last, and many plants are now blooming size with some putting out their first pale greenish-yellow flowers.

Native to the humid tropical forests of Mexico and Central America, it wants warmth (65–95°F), bright filtered light, humidity and something to climb — a post, trellis or tree. Keep the roots evenly moist and let the vine run; in Florida it makes a lush landscape feature, and hand pollination can yield your own vanilla beans.
