200 Seeds of Yellow Swedish Cotton Flower (Sesbania Sesban) - Also known as Common Sesban, Egyptian Rattle Pod, Frother, or River Bean Tree Seeds
The Bong Dien Dien, Also Known as the River Bean Tree, and the Sesbania Sesban: A Gardener's Adventure
When I first started gardening, I sowed 200 seeds of Sesbania Sesban, also called Bong Dien Dien. I was particularly intrigued by the fast growth and nitrogen-fixing capabilities of this legume-family species. This plant, which goes by a few other names—River Bean Tree, Frother, Egyptian Rattle pod, Common Sesban, and Yellow Swedish Cotton Flower—is the one I'm describing in my narrative.
Sesbania Sesban is an annual plant that quickly develops a woody base and can reach a height of three to ten feet.
The big, 4–12 inch leaves make this plant easy to spot.
This plant may grow to a height of four or five meters in as little as six months under certain conditions, and it provides more feed in a shorter period of time compared to other legumes like Leucaena Leucocephala. It grows rapidly as well.
Deepening Comprehending
Getting a Seed Started: As a preliminary step, I made sure the seeds had plenty of room to grow in a warm, bright spot.
Because I like soil that drains well, I was careful to water the soil regularly without letting it become too wet.
The quick germination and subsequent branching of the plant showed that it had grown tremendously.
The rapid nitrogen enrichment that Sesbania Sesban and similar green manure crops provide to soil is a major boon.
Despite its short lifespan of around ten years, this plant is a boon to any garden because of its boundless vitality and its ability to spread.
The story of my life's successes and setbacks
The plant's size and shape became more manageable with age, making it easier to shape for optimal development and upkeep.
I learned a lot about the advantages of nitrogen-fixing legumes in a garden setting and about quick plant development from my experience with Sesbania Sesban. In my yard, this plant had a dual purpose: it enhanced the soil and it looked great. For environmentally concerned gardeners in search of a rapid-grower with several functional purposes, Sesbania Sesban is a fantastic choice.
