Cotton Levant Gossypium Herbaceum is a herbaceous, perennial shrub native to Africa and Arabia. Cotton Levant is easy to grow from seeds, and since this heat-loving perennial does not tolerate frost, Cotton can be grown as an annual in areas north of USDA Zone 9. Gossypium Herbaceum features persistent or semi-persistent foliage with hairy, palm-like, green leaves that are accented with red-purple petioles and blooms with showy, bright-yellow, hibiscus-like, rounded flowers. 

Cotton blooms all summer and into fall producing the flowers which are followed by brownish, globular seed pods that open in maturity exposing the seeds embedded in flossy, white fibers. Cotton Levant is a very interesting, flowering shrub to grow in a garden, and Cotton can be grown as a container plant in cooler areas and moved indoors. Gossypium Herbaceum needs a lot of light and grows best in full sun and fertile, moist, but well-drained soil tolerating heat and long periods of drought.

Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequently, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.

This is the sole warranty; we make no other, express or implied. We cannot guarantee establishment of seed due to various factors over which we have no control. Liability, whether contractual, for negligence or otherwise, is limited in all respects to the amount of the purchase price of the seeds, regardless of the nature, cause or extent of the loss. It is expressly agreed that this limited remedy is exclusive and that we shall not be liable for any damages over and above the purchase price of this product. And as a condition to any liability on our part, we must receive notice by registered mail of any claim.
