Perennial cotton (Gossypium sp.)

Hardy perennial growing two to five metres tall. Produces yellow-hibiscus like flowers that are followed by bolls of white fluffy cotton. While this variety may not be suitable for ginning (fibre prduction), it is certainly useful for making your own cotton balls or stuffing toys and upholstery.

Perennial cotton is now available at Edible Landscapes Nursery for $3.50.

The Nursery will remain open for business during our Harvest Festival on Saturday March 20. Stay tuned for more details on the edible plants we’ll have on offer!
