Not what I expected Review by Unknown
Overall Rating
High germination rate, pretty little plants so far, great root system and was easy to transplant. That being said, we found the “numbing” sensation from chewing the leaves was not what we were expecting. It has an almost stinging sensation, followed by a burning numbness. Perhaps if this was packed in a tooth it would work but I could feel that burning numb sensation on the tip of my tongue all day long. Other family members said the same thing, though it did not bother my youngest son..

We had so much fun with this plant last year that we had to plant it again this year. If you chew the flower, beware. It does numb your mouth much more than the leaves and my husband had a hard time swallowing for a few minutes, but we all had a good laugh out of it. It is certainly a fun plant to have and grow. It is also known as the "eyeball" plant because the flowers look like eyeballs..
