It has a similar root and stem system to others in the dicot family Asteraceae. After germinating, the roots progress into a tap root that grows vertically in the ground.[1] The primary tissue of the apical meristems increases the length of the plant and the secondary roots of the lateral meristems give rise to the width. B. alba grows to a height of approximately five feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stem of B. alba plant emerges from the taproot, yet the bent stem at the base also has the ability to grow into roots at the lower nodes. Stems are mostly hairless and green to purplish in color. The vascular bundle provides nutrients throughout the plant, with the xylem transporting water from the roots and the phloem obtaining food from the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBidens alba leaves, which are simple on the opposite side and compound on the underneath, are 2–10 centimetres (1–4 in) long and 1.0–3.5 cm (3⁄8–1+3⁄8 in) wide. The underside leaf is hairy, and has toothed edges. The leaves may be lobed, depending on the species. Some have teeth and some do not; each node produces two leaves along the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach flowering head of B. alba, which is small, appears in radial symmetry. The flowers on this plant are depicted as daisy-like due to the larger white petals and the very small yellow flowers which are located at the end of the branches. Colors of the flower-heads of Bidens alba vary depending on the subspecies; some B. alba have yellow, tubular central blossoms and others may have flower-heads with white or cream petals (1.5 cm or 5⁄8 in long); eventually they form black linear seeds, yielding approximately 1200 seeds per plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Island Gardeners","offers":[{"title":"small","offer_id":45843348979901,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Med","offer_id":45843349012669,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":45843349045437,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/2801\/5293\/files\/show-a-cup-of-tea-with-steam-coming-off-being-held-in-hands-as-one-hand-hold-the-stem-of-the-cup-and-the-other-cuddles-the-bottom-and-a-pot-seeping-as-the-seen-shows-them-on-a-bamboo.png?v=1761492752"},{"product_id":"organic-dried-jamaican-blue-vervain-island-gardeners-nursery","title":"Organic Dried Jamaican Blue Vervain | Island Gardeners Nursery","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"gs_p\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJamaican Blue Vervain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvested by hand and dehydrated in controlled conditions to preserve nutrients and color, leaves remain vibrant green after drying process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVervain (Verbena officinalis), also known as common vervain or common verbena, is a flowering perennial plant native to Europe and Asia.

Legend attributes its discovery to a seedling planted in the orchard of Nawab Mohammad Khan Saab, a local noble under Mughal rule, though exact records are scarce. By the 19th century, it had spread across northern India, becoming a prized variety for its flavor and texture. Its fame grew during British colonial times, with grafts distributed to other mango-growing regions like Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.

Their skin is thin, smooth, and transitions from green to a golden-yellow when ripe, often with a faint pink or red blush near the stem. The flesh is a vibrant orange, succulent, and notably fiber-free, encasing a single, flat, monoembryonic seed that’s smaller than many cultivars, maximizing edible yield. Ripening from June to July in India, it’s a mid-season variety with a strong, sweet aroma. The taste is intensely sweet and rich, with a creamy texture and subtle hints of citrus and honey, lacking the tartness of some mangoes, making it a dessert-like treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeason  - July - Aug\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecolor     - Yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003etexture  - Smooth creamy (no strings)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eweight  - 8-12 oz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTree size- 10-20'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003econtainer planting is possible\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"3 gal","offer_id":46726541213885,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 gal","offer_id":46726541246653,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 gal","offer_id":46726541279421,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 gal","offer_id":46726541312189,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/2801\/5293\/files\/416A4751-2F29-4DAC-A343-9C73478C7B30.jpg?v=1777683574"},{"product_id":"fruit-cocktail-mango-tree-grafted-mid-late-season","title":"Falan Mango (Thai Mango)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"176\" data-start=\"123\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Falan Thai Mango Sweet, Crunchy Mid season \u003c\/span\u003e – Island Gardeners Nursery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"179\" data-start=\"176\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Falan mango (also known as Thai sweet green mango or 'Thunder') is a \u003c\/span\u003eThai variety renowned for being eaten young, offering a crisp, crunchy, and fiberless texture with a sweet-tangy flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmark class=\"HxTRcb\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-wiz-uids=\"pVKiMb_k\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none solid rgb(238, 240, 255); border-bottom: 0px none rgb(238, 240, 255);'\u003e\u003c\/mark\u003eThese small-to-medium green fruits remain green when ripe, are generally 12-20 cm long, and are popular in salads, pickles, or eaten raw with chili salt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeason  - July - Aug\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecolor     - Green\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003etexture  - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003efirm, crunchy, and crisp texture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eweight  - 9--14 oz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTree size- 10-20'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003econtainer planting is possible\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"3 gal","offer_id":46726557270205,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 gal","offer_id":46726557302973,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 gal","offer_id":46726557335741,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 gal","offer_id":46726557368509,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/2801\/5293\/files\/281AED48-FFA0-43B0-A467-04B25356D8DD.png?v=1777683492"},{"product_id":"fruit-cocktail-mango-tree","title":"Fruit Cocktail Mango Tree","description":"\u003ch1 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFruit Cocktail Mango Tree – Sweet, Complex \u0026amp; Fiberless Florida Mango\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscover a mango with a name that perfectly describes its flavor!
