Tamura-so (Tamura Grass) Seedling 3 plants

A rare, cold-hardy, deciduous perennial from the genus Tamarix in the Asteraceae family. It is distributed in Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and grows in rice paddy ridges, fallow fields, and wet grasslands. It is also known by the common name Tamabouki (Jade Broom). The stems are erect and grow to a height of 30-100 cm. The leaves resemble those of thistles but have no thorns. It flowers from August to October, with reddish-purple capitula measuring 3-4 cm in diameter, borne upright on the tips of several branched stems, giving a thistle-like appearance at first glance. Seeds sown on January 26, 2026, had a germination rate of approximately 80%. It is said to flower in the second year after germination. For cultivation, place in a sunny location that is not too dry. It is said to be a hardy plant that requires little care. It prefers moist environments and thrives in full sun to bright partial shade. While it flowers better in full sun, strong summer direct sunlight can cause leaf burn, so a location with some shading is ideal. Photos 1 and 2 show the flowers. Photos 3 and 4 are sample seedlings to be sent, taken on May 1, 2026. As it is said to flower in the second year after germination, we expect to see flowers next summer, in 2027. We will send 3 seedlings, carefully packed with moisture retention, via fourth-class mail. Thank you for your consideration.
