Looking for kanakambaram seeds

Revathi
Sorry to hear you could not find these kanakambaram seeds.

I will request a few good friends from the south to help you out. Hope it works.

 

hi revathi,

Recently i gave away the few seeds that i could get from my plants. will keep watch, and if i can, i will find out if i can get you some from the nursery.

I grow them in pots.

I think than the bright orange, there is a variety that is more papery, and brighter oranger/leaning towards red that can tolerate all climates..it more local variety found in rural villages. (called naatu kanakambaram)

 

Hi Shanvy

Thanks for your help - if I remember right, the nattu kanakambaram withers in a day while the yellow, orange and Delhi varieties last about 3 days!! I wonder whether all varieties produce seeds?!!!

Revathi,

All of them produce seeds, but the most prominently seen is the seeds of the orange one.

the naatu kanakambaram though looks like it withers does sustain the look in my opinion.

These days even the others kanakambaram look wilted once removed from the plant..though i remember they used to be looking so fresh for days after plucking..

 

Buy Crossandra infundibuliformis - Vermilion Red Form - 12 seeds, for sale at the DG Marketplace. Please go to this site to buy Kanakambaram seeds if you like or you can google "crossandra plants of seeds" you will get lots of answers. I hope this helps. Good Luck.

You might have to wait some more at Ikea for kanakambaram flowers. I remember seeing them in Ikea 'last spring' in the UK.

Kanakambaram plants are available here in the US too. I bought them in a nursery here near Chicago last month for $4.50 for a small plant. It is called "Orange Marmalade" and is said to be an annual plant. There were a lot of flowers and I was waiting to see if I find any seeds but there were no seeds after it finished blooming. It is also called Crossandra plant.
