How to Sow and Plant

Soak seeds in warm water overnight before sowing — improves germination.
Sow seeds about 1–1.5 cm deep in moist, well-drained soil.
Maintain soil warmth (~22–28 °C if possible) for better germination.
After germination, transplant seedlings to a sunny location with support (trellis, fence, stake) to allow climbing.

How to Grow

Provide full sun to partial shade depending on climate; warm subtropical to tropical conditions are ideal.
Use fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
Water moderately; keep soil moist but avoid waterlogging.
Provide strong support (trellis, fence, strings) once vine begins climbing — Loroco can climb several feet.
Harvest flower buds when they are small & unopened for best flavor.

Tips

Loroco vines are ideal for vertical gardening — use trellis or fence to maximize space and airflow.
Harvest buds regularly to encourage more bud production.
Mix with other warm-climate edible or ornamental vines to create a lush, productive vertical garden.
In cooler climates, consider container planting and move indoors or provide frost protection — Loroco prefers warm, frost-free conditions.

PLANT TYPE

Perennial flower

Loroco (botanical name Fernaldia pandurata) is a tropical flowering vine native to Central America, widely cultivated for its aromatic, edible flower buds — a key ingredient in traditional dishes such as the Salvadoran Pupusa. The plant offers dual value: culinary and ornamental. Its lush green foliage can beautify gardens when trained on trellises or fences, while its buds provide a unique, slightly nutty-earthy flavor to soups, stews, rice dishes, and baked items. Loroco thrives in warm climates (zones 9–11), with well-drained soil, and benefits from consistent moisture and sun.
