Toothache Plant (Spilanthes)

Add a pop of color and novelty to your garden with the Toothache Plant! Also known as Szechuan buttons or buzz buttons, this low-growing herb produces striking yellow and red cone-shaped flowers that resemble gobstoppers, making it a unique and ornamental choice for borders or garden beds. Its dark, compact foliage enhances its visual appeal.

Chewing the flowers creates a fizzy, slightly numbing sensation on the tongue, making it a fun and unusual addition to salads or garnishes. Beyond its novelty, the Toothache Plant is known for its potential to fortify the immune system and support gum health.

Add the Toothache Plant to your garden for a one-of-a-kind herb that’s as ornamental as it is intriguing!
