Grow a unique and valuable desert plant with Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis), an evergreen woody shrub native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Jojoba is best known for its seeds, which produce jojoba oil, a liquid wax widely used in cosmetics, skincare, hair care, and natural products.
Jojoba plants feature blue-green leathery leaves, a naturally compact growth habit, and excellent tolerance to heat, drought, and poor soils. This long-lived plant is ideal for xeriscaping, desert gardens, erosion control, and sustainable landscapes. Jojoba is dioecious, meaning male and female plants are separate, and both are required for seed production.
You will receive:
✔️ 10 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated
✔️ Carefully packaged for successful planting
