Toothache Plant - Bullseye

Spilanthes acmella

Also known as Spilanthes, Jambu or Buzz Buttons, this variety produces bright yellow button flowers that create a numbing, tingling sensation on the tongue. Adds a surprising twist to salads, cocktails, and desserts, and can be pickled for a zesty garnish. Historically used for oral health and pain relief, the flowers are both ornamental and medicinal. Thrives in full sun with rich, well-drained soil.

A compact annual with cheerful yellow-and-red cone-shaped blooms, it thrives in warm conditions and adds ornamental flair to garden beds and containers.
