Grow unique and fascinating Paracress (Toothache) plants, also known as Electric Daisy or Peek-A-Boo, from Non-GMO seeds. This medicinal herb produces small, edible flowers that create a tingling, numbing sensation when eaten, making it popular for herbal remedies and sensory gardens. Thriving in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil, Paracress can also be grown as microgreens. Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or outdoors after frost danger has passed. Ideal for gardeners looking for an unusual, conversation-starting plant with both ornamental and edible value.
✓ A practical herb for kitchen or garden use
✓ Works well in herb beds, containers, or patio planters
✓ Adds fresh flavor, fragrance, or garden interest
✓ Useful for small-space growing when conditions are suitable
✓ A good choice for gardeners building a home herb collection
Sow Paracress in spring, summer at about surface deep. Keep the seed starting mix lightly moist until germination, usually 7-14 days.
Grow in full sun, partial shade and thin seedlings once they are large enough to handle.
Begin light harvest around 60-90 days when plants are established, cutting modestly so they can continue growing.
