Apocynum cannabinum

March 3, 2015 By

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Wildflowers

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Apocynum cannabinum

Family: (Apocynaceae)

Native perennial to 4′.  Dogbane, Indian Hemp.  This sturdy grower features strong, reddish stems that branch towards the top and support  cymes of small, five-petalled, scented, cream-coloured flowers at branch ends or on stalks from leaf axils.  Silk, tufted seeds form in long, slender, string bean-shaped pods.  Soft green, oval leaves have a distinct silvery midrib and are touched with a light, waxy bloom.  Stem are fibrous, very strong, and were once used for sewing and to make rope.  The plant is also used in phytoremediation as it is effective in sequestering lead from contaminated soils in its biomass.  A good plant for meadows and wild places where it can colonize in accordance with its natural tendencies. Great golden autumn colour too.  We grow ours at the Systematic Order Beds in a pot, to keep it in bounds.  Sun and average soil. 3, 7 for 4 weeks, then T2
