Coffee Plant
Coffea arabica
Coffee, Coffea arabica, belongs to the Madder Family
of evergreen shrubs known as Rubiaceae. With at least 25 species
now recognized, they orginated in Asia and Africa and are winter
hardy outdoors only in zones 10 - 11.
Coffea arabica is the primary commercially grown specie and
can also be grown as a houseplant or greenhouse specimen. The
flowers are white and very fragrant. Propagate from seed in rich
potting soil and offer warmth and light. Can be taken outdoors
for the summer in filtered light, gradually into full sun and
brought back in before frost.
The specimen shown above was photographed at Kohn Conservatory
in Eden Park, Cincinatti, Ohio in May, 1999.
