Main characteristics of the variety:
- Acmella oleracea is an annual ornamental and medicinal herb belonging to the genus Spilanthes within the Asteraceae family. It grows to a height of approximately 30-40 cm, featuring erect or ascending stems that are highly branched. The leaves are opposite, ovate or elliptical, 3-5 cm long, with wavy, bluntly toothed margins. Flowering occurs primarily from July to October. The capitula (flower heads) are solitary or arranged in panicles. They exhibit a unique morphology, being ovoid to spherical initially and gradually elongating into an oblong shape later in development. The florets are yellow, composed exclusively of dense tubular bisexual florets. Acmella oleracea thrives in warm, humid, and sunny environments; it is intolerant of drought and cold. The plant has specific soil requirements, preferring loose, fertile, and moist loam, while being intolerant of heavy clay soils. It is commonly found naturally occurring in habitats such as field margins, damp areas beside streams, and forest edges at altitudes ranging from 800 to 1900 meters. Its value is multifaceted: The whole plant is used medicinally, possessing properties for detoxification, reducing inflammation and swelling, dispelling wind-dampness, relieving pain, and alleviating coughs and asthma. Extracts from the flowers, stems, and leaves have significant applications in the cosmetics industry, utilized in whitening and skincare products, or as agents to promote hair growth in haircare products. Furthermore, owing to its distinctive flower form and color, coupled with an exceptionally long flowering period, Acmella oleracea is also an excellent choice for use in flower beds, borders, or as a potted plant for ornamental purposes.
