About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Halogeton arachnoideus, known in Chinese as Zhu Si Peng (蛛丝蓬), is an annual herbaceous plant with a distinctive branching form. It typically grows 10–40 cm tall, developing upright, grayish-white stems that branch from the base. Young branches carry fine, cobweb-like hairs that gradually disappear as the plant matures.

Small cylindrical leaves grow along the stems, while tiny flowers appear in clusters at the leaf axils. As the fruit develops, the surrounding flower parts form delicate, translucent wings. Native to parts of northern and northwestern China and neighboring regions of Asia, this species occurs naturally on dry slopes, sandy ground, and riverbanks.
