Swan Plant Flower Seeds Asclepias physocarpa for Home Garden Growing and Decorative Planting

Product Overview

Swan Plant (Asclepias physocarpa), also known as Gomphocarpus physocarpus, is a distinctive ornamental flowering plant recognized for its delicate cream-white flowers, slender green foliage, and unusual balloon-shaped seed pods. Native to southern Africa, this member of the Apocynaceae family is valued for its unique botanical appearance and decorative garden characteristics.

Swan Plant Flower Seeds are suitable for gardeners interested in cultivating unusual flowering plants for home gardens, ornamental borders, and outdoor decorative planting. The plant develops upright, branching stems with narrow green leaves and clusters of small, waxy flowers that create a graceful appearance.

Following flowering, Swan Plant produces inflated green seed pods covered with soft, bristle-like projections. These distinctive structures add seasonal visual interest and make the plant an attractive addition to botanical collections and ornamental landscapes.

Swan Plant grows as a tender perennial in suitable warm climates and is commonly cultivated as an annual in regions experiencing colder winters.

    How to plant your seeds

    Follow these simple steps to give your seeds the best start.

    1. Prepare your soil & tray

      Fill trays or small pots with seed-starting mix. Press gently to settle—no need to pack tight.

    2. Sow seeds at the right depth

      Plant roughly 2–3× the seed’s width deep. Tiny seeds can be pressed lightly into the surface.

    3. Water & keep warm

      Mist or bottom-water. Cover until sprouting if the packet suggests it. Keep in a bright, warm spot.
