Dragon Fruit L.A. Woman - Hylocereus undatus - 10 Seed Pack

About this item

The genus Hylocereus is a captivating group of cacti known for their strikingly beautiful and delicious fruits, commonly referred to as dragon fruits or pitayas. Native to the Americas, these plants are unique for their vibrant flowers, which bloom overnight, and their sprawling, climbing vines that thrive in warm, dry climates. Hylocereus species, including the popular Hylocereus undatus and Hylocereus guatemalensis, produce fruits that are not only a feast for the eyes with their bright, colourful skin but also a treat for the taste buds, offering a mildly sweet, refreshing flavour. Known for their resilience and minimal care requirements, Hylocereus cacti are both a gardener's delight and a tropical fruit lover's dream. Introducing the L.A. Woman Dragon Fruit, a delightful variety that promises to bring both beauty and flavour to your garden. This stunning white flesh pitaya is renowned for its tangy taste and watermelon-like texture, making it a refreshing treat. The flesh, complemented by small edible seeds, offers a unique and sweet flavour that is perfect for eating raw, especially when chilled. The L.A. Woman is a standout in any garden due to its striking colour contrast between the pink skin and white flesh, which is one of the key features that make it so beloved by both growers and consumers worldwide. The L.A. Woman Dragon Fruit plant is a climbing cactus vine, ideally suited for dry areas where it thrives. Because of its epiphytic nature, it grows best in soil rich in organic materials that can hold moisture while still offering excellent drainage. As the plant matures, it will need support, such as a trellis or stake, to climb and spread as it grows. The L.A. Woman is easy to care for, making it an ideal choice for both first-time and seasoned growers. One of the key advantages of this variety is that it is self-pollinating, meaning it will set fruit without the need for hand pollination, though thinning out buds is recommended for larger fruit. T
