RE: Oyster Plant - a highly regarded plant in Ancient Rome and Greece.

in #acanthus6 years ago

@ctrl-alt-nwo, Absolutely brilliant plantation post indeed beauty capture. I've seen Oyster Plant already. Those plants grow any weather condition. The time from planting to harvest is about 120 days. Salsify roots can tolerate freezing, so leave them in the ground until you want them. The longer they're out of the ground, the less they taste like oysters. To harvest, dig up the whole root.A nice, slow-spreading plant, oyster prefers a part sun to part shade location to look its best.It's ideal under small palms like the pygmy date palm pictured, or it can be used as border plants for beds.With its subtly attractive texture and color, dwarf oyster has a neat appearance in a dense bed and works well in formal or casual landscapes.The dwarf is now the most common oyster plant sold, an improved cultivar of a taller one which was once often used as a landscape plant but is rarely seen now, partly due to its invasiveness. There is a showy variegated form called Tricolor with leaves of pink-fuschia, green and white.

Actually, you are confusing Acanthus with the vegetable oyster, or Salisfy. This is has an edible root, like a Parsnip or Carrot, but is not the same as the Oyster plant in my post. Just a little mistake, but that's OK, your comment is very good. Nice pictures.

Yep...Sorry for if you're confuse with me. It's different with your post. I told you my idea.
Sorry again for inconvenience.
