Paracress – Spilanthes oleracea
Spilanthes oleracea is an older name associated with Acmella oleracea, a member of Asteraceae. Its compact yellow to orange flower heads contrast with the broad foliage. In warm humid conditions it can persist as a perennial, while cooler-climate assortments often treat it as a seasonal herb. Moisture and drainage both matter. The catalogue average is 3500 seeds per gram, a useful reference when comparing bulk quantities.
