This listing is for 4 Ludwigia alternifolia, Rattlebox Pods.

These pods have a lot of tiny seeds in them so 4 pods is more than enough to get you started.

The plant is beautiful through summer, and again when the pedals fall revealing a pretty red calyx.

Then, the seed box is something everyone should see.  

What a strange looking cubical seed pod with a single little hole on top for dispersal.

There isn't much information on this wild native in terms of uses as of yet.

Though its known the Rattlebox are a host plant for the banded sphinx moth (Eumorpha fasciatus).

Good gift for your Lepidoptera gardeners.

 

Thank you for looking!
