Mister Gain 1,759 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Apple of Peru Plant Info Apple of Peru (shoofly plant to some) is a half hardy perennial that’s usually grown as an annual in USDA zones 3 through 8. It can reach five feet in height by the end of the summer, and blooms for two to three months during the summer. It produces light purple to blue flowers that grow in a bell shape. Even though it blooms constantly, the flowers only last for about a day, and the apple of Peru plant only ever has one or two flowers in bloom at a time. In the southern U.S., people rub the leaves on their skin as a fly repellant and will set it out in a dish mixed with milk to attract and poison flies, earning it the alternate name shoofly. In addition to being poisonous to flies, it is also poisonous to humans, and should NEVER be eaten. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
