Jewels-of-Opar (Talinum paniculatum)

Jewels-of-Opar (Talinum paniculatum) or commonly known as Talinum. Native to Latin America and the Caribbean. It has been introduced notably in Africa and Asia. Talinum paniculatum is often grown as an ornamental plant. 



The leaves are edible and have been used in traditional medicine in Asia. Used in home medicine as a diuretic, healing, emollient, vulval and anti-infective, it is also consumed in salads. 😋🌱❤️



BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM will propagate and outplant more of this in the coming months as an edible ground cover.
