White Blanched Udo Seeds - Vegetable Plant

White Blanched Udo Seeds produce a hardy perennial herb known for its edible young shoots, which are traditionally blanched to develop a pale white color and mild flavor. This plant is widely grown in Japanese and East Asian gardens and is valued both as a culinary vegetable and an ornamental foliage plant. It develops tall upright stems and large leaves, thriving best in shaded or woodland-style environments.
