Toothache Plant or "Electric Daisies"
Aprx 25 seeds
Acmella oleracea is a native to the tropics of Brazil, where it is called Jambu, and is grown as both an ornamental and a medicinal plant in various parts of the world. A small, erect plant, it grows quickly and sends up gold flowers with a red centre. Both fresh and cooked leaves are sometimes used in stews but eating a whole flower bud results in a grassy taste, followed by an extremely strong tingling or numbing sensation. These buds are known as Buzz Buttons or electric buttons and the numbing effect apparently helps toothache. Best grown as a tender annual in the UK.
