Cotton Plant (Gossypium)

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is a warm-season shrub that offers more than just visual interest in the home garden. Easy to grow in sunny, well-drained positions, it is a multi-use plant: the fluffy cotton balls can be hand-harvested and used for craft, stuffing toys and pillows, fire-starting, seed saving, or basic spinning. Growing cotton at home reconnects gardeners with traditional cotton production and adds a practical, educational element to a productive backyard landscape.

Supplied in a 200mm pot.
