Product Description
The plant family of the night shadow plants (Solanaceae) has many celebrities. On the one hand, there are some very important food plants such as potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, chilli and aubergines as well as many representatives from the areas of medicinal and cult plants such as tobacco, Bilsenkraut and Alraune.
Here we have dedicated ourselves to the somewhat mystical, magical and legendary representatives of the night shadow plants, who are also called witch herbs and magic plants. This is certainly because all night shadow plants contain many active ingredients that can be toxic to humans, so you should not eat potatoes raw, for example.
This seed set contains 5 different witch herbs:
Angel trumpet (Brugmansia suaveolens) tropical night shadow plant with beautiful fragrant trumpet flowers. Impressive pot plant. Great cherry (Atropa belladonna var. belladonna) Due to the high attropin content, a well-known healing and magical plant. The name ‘Belladonna’ (Italian: ‘Beautiful Woman’) dates back to the pupil-expanding action that women have actually made use of themselves for beauty reasons in earlier times. Forest tobacco, mountain tobacco (Nicotiana sylvestris). The forest or mountain tobacco originally comes from the damp, humus-rich mountain forests of the Eastern Andes and is considered to be the most today ttttCulture tobacco varieties. Bell bilse herb (Scopolia carniolica) rather inconspicuous healing and poison plant, which was probably part of old witch album recipes. Black Bilsenkraut (Hyoscyamus niger). An ancient magic plant from the family of night shadow plants.
One seed bag per plant variety.
The seed bags and detailed sowing instructions in German and English are packed in a beautiful gift box
– A great sustainable gift for the garden. Any plant lover will love it.
Magical – ethnobotanical plants from around the world
This seed set belongs to our category: Magical
Ethnology and botany merge in ethnobotany. So it is about the important plants of the indigenous peoples of the world.
The plants from this set explained in more detail:
Great cherry (Atropa belladonna var. Belladonna)
The black cherry is a legendary night shadow plant in Central Europe, which is one of the notorious witch plants.
The botanical name Atropa belladonna is composed of the Greek goddess of fate “Atropos” and the Italian “Bella Donna” for beautiful woman, which may go back to the legend that women in Italy were widening the pupils for aesthetic reasons. For this effect, the contained atropin is still used today in ophthalmology.
The plant is very toxic and should not be planted in gardens where toddlers play!
Hyoscyamus niger
Bilsenkraut is a truly unusual plant. The appearance is very noticeable – the gloriously hairy leaves, the white flowers infused with black veins, and later the dry “seed capsules”.
Since ancient times as a medicinal plant known against many different ailments and an important ingredient for the so-called legendary witch or flight ointment. In the Middle Ages it was believed that this ointment can fly a person and thus give magical skills.
However, the most important ingredients of this ointment are plants that can trigger noisy conditions and unfortunately almost all are very toxic.
Please note: Like many magical plants, the Black Bilsenkraut is poisonous!
Glockenbilverwort / Krainer greadherb (Scopolia carniolica)
The Krainer greadherb is a little known magic plant from the family of night shadow plants. It has similar importance in Eastern Europe to the Alraune. The plant occurs in many parts of Asia to Japan and is also used in medically.
The plant is very toxic and should not be planted in gardens where toddlers play!
Forest tobacco / mountain tobacco (Nicotiana sylvestris)
Nicotiana sylvestris is an Indian tobacco variety with wonderfully fragrant flowers, which is particularly popular as an ornamental plant. The bright white trumpet flowers up to 8 cm long unfold their captivating petunia-like fragrance from dusk, which then attracts many night moths.
The forest or mountain tobacco originally comes from the damp, humus-rich mountain forests of the Eastern Andes and is considered to be the Urahn of most common culture tobacco varieties. It is not used as smoke tobacco.
Legendary night shadow plants
The name night shadows could indicate the nighttime headache that is easily obtained from the captivating scent of the flowers of many night shadow plants at night.
Angel Trumpet (Brugmansia Suaveolens)
The Angel Trumpet is a beautiful tropical night shadow plant with large, fragrant white trumpet flowers. The perfect pot plant for balcony and terrace. Brugmansia suaveolens was used in Amazonia for ritual preparations, including the potion tonga, which should develop shamanic effect.
This variety corresponds to the wild shape and is seed solid unlike most angel trumpets grown as ornamental plants. These are mostly hybrids whose seeds are not good for further crossing or breeding.
The plant is very toxic and should not be planted in gardens where toddlers play!
