Shoofly Plant

I have been trying to find seeds for this for ages - got some from Wellie yonks ago but they didn't germinate.

Best of luck with your experiment zazen

Someone gave me some seeds which I sowed the other day, will see if they come up, have some left so will try some in the greenhouse too.

To be fair, they aren't moving so perhaps they are dead

Ha! I did a project a few years ago on this plant and whitefly. Sorry to say there was absolutely no effects seen at all!

I think the plant used to be called Souffle plant and somewhere along the line it became Shoofly!

The shoofly plant was discussed in this thread - I still can't find any evidence that it
has any effect on flies.

I'm growing it too in the vain hope it'll cure my fly problem....yeah right....

I read down the info on the link to the photo and it stated it was a bee in the flower.
It's worth a try, who knows it may work
