Silene capensis Seeds (African Dream Root)
Silene capensis, commonly known as African Dream Root or Xhosa Dream Root, is a perennial plant native to South Africa. It is characterized by its white flowers, which bloom at night, and its long, slender leaves. Growing up to 2 feet in height, it prefers well-drained soil and can endure drought conditions. Silene capensis seeds are sought after for their potential to induce vivid and lucid dreams when consumed. While it is traditionally grown in USDA hardiness zones 9-11, it can also be cultivated in other regions as an annual or potted plant.
Growing Silene capensis from Seed
- Growth cycle: Perennial
- Watering: Ligh

Germinating African Dream Root Flower Seeds
To germinate Silene capensis, soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours. Then, plant them in a well-draining potting mix, cover lightly with soil, and keep the soil moist in a warm location.
We source all of our Silene capensis seeds from a small greenhouse facility based in southeastern Maine and store them in a dark, temperature-controlled environment before shipment. You’ll find that our fresh African Dream Root seeds are much easier to germinate than the mass-produced packets of flower seeds found in stores! If you have any trouble growing African Dream Root seeds, we’re happy to send you additional gardening tips. In the (unlikely) event that your Silene capensis seeds do not germinate at all, we’ll give you a full refund, no questions asked.
We offer this variety on Etsy, eBay, and Amazon, as well!

Jeremy (verified owner) –
This was the first of two orders, and I held off on reviewing until I had gotten the second one in just to verify an obvious consistency of service. With that said I highly recommend the seller and I will be ordering from them again in the near future.
Jeremy (verified owner) –
This is my second purchase, and I’ve held off in a review until now. I have to say I’m happy with the service, especially how quick turnaround from order to shipping is. My only gripe is how long it takes for USPS to do their part, but that’s on the mail, and we expect them to not measure up. So yeah, I’ll be back.
Man I Love Frogs (verified owner) –
Great product! I couldn’t find the package when it arrived and they offered to replace it right away. 10/10 would recommend
