Jatropha podagrica ‘Buddha Belly’

Jatropha podagrica 'Buddha Belly' forms a bottle shaped caudex that can reach an average of 1' wide. Its large, leathery, dark green leaves with prominent white veins begin to drop in the Fall and starts to grow again in Spring.  Bright red flowers attract pollinators. Due to their size, these plants may get pruned back in order to ship, may not arrive in flower as any existent blooms may wilt in transit, but this is their time to grow and produce more blooms given proper conditions so you will see your own show up soon!
