Cananga odorata YLANG-YLANG (10 seeds)

Cananga odorata or Ylang-Ylang is a tropical shrub from the Annonaceae family.
It is a beautiful small tree native to Southeast Asia.
The flowers of this tree are yellow in color.
Ylang-ylang seeds are flat and rounded, like those of golden shower tree or Caesalpinia.

It is grown for its flowers, from which an essential oil widely used in perfumery such as frangipani is extracted by distillation.
The essence of ylang-ylang is intended for the preparation of certain luxury perfumes, cosmetic products and products intended for aromatherapy.
In Southeast Asia, the oil is used to flavor candies, ice cream, drinks and chewing gum.

The most favorable time to sow ylang-ylang seeds is from June to the end of July when temperatures are sufficiently high.
Soak the seeds for 12 hours in lukewarm water before sowing to break dormancy.
Then, prepare small pots of horticultural seedling soil and bury the seeds 1/2 cm deep.
Gently water the crop with a small watering can or using a sprayer.
Finally, it is very important to place the culture in a warm and humid place, such as a garden greenhouse.
The temperature should be at least 30 to 40°C to germinate the seeds.

Ylang ylang germination will generally begin 2 to 4 weeks after sowing.
