Lion's ear (Leonotis leonurus) - Buy 10 Seeds?
Lion's ear is also called wild cannabis because smoking dried leaves and flowers gives the same calming effect, but to a much lesser extent. Tea is also made from the leaf and it is widely used in traditional medicine. It is a bushy plant from South Africa that can reach a height of up to 2 metres and produces beautiful, orange flowers. In the wild, the flowers are pollinated by birds and attract many bees and butterflies due to the nectar smell. The species can be kept with us as an annual or as a perennial tub plant if you protect it from frost. Provide a sunny location.
