They are native to eastern China \u0026amp; Taiwan, \u0026amp; are cold hardy to Zone 5. The plants are able to grow in nearly any type of soil including clay, \u0026amp; can even tolerate full shade. It is also used in traditional Chinese medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bushes are actually quite ornamental! They have pretty white flowers in clusters that turn to cluster of 3-4mm pink fruit. The pink shells later open to reveal shiny black seeds. The stems have spines, \u0026amp; the foliage is fragrant when it’s crushed. In fall, the leaves turn lovely shades of yellow, orange, \u0026amp; orangey-red. The plants are dioecious, so you will need both male \u0026amp; female plants for pollination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIt is the pink seed shells or husks that are the edible spice called Szechuan Pepper. The seeds actually have no flavor, but will fall out \u0026amp; get out of your way so you can easily pick the fragrant pink pods. Szechuan Pepper is commonly used in Chinese \u0026amp; Indian cuisine. The husks can be used whole, or ground into powder. It is one of the ingredients for five-spice powder. Szechuan Pepper has a stronger flavor than black pepper with a unique somewhat citrusy flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have over 60 types of 'regular' Pepper plant seeds, \u0026amp; other varieties of Ash Tree seeds too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1rem; color: #1f2124; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\" data-mce-style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1rem; color: #1f2124; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e* FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ADDITIONAL SEEDS!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePAY ONE FLAT SHIPPING FEE PER ORDER NO MATTER HOW MANY PACKS OF SEEDS YOU SELECT!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWE HAVE OVER 2,000 TYPES OF FLOWER, VINE, TREE, SHRUB, HERB, FRUIT, \u0026amp; VEGETABLE SEEDS TO CHOOSE FROM!!!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seedville USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46324961050762,"sku":"1693","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/1380\/6986\/files\/shutterstock_1655894758.jpg?v=1747847911","url":"https:\/\/blessviva.com\/products\/25-szechuan-pepper-peppercorn-sichuan-szechwan-zanthoxylum-bungeanum-spice-seeds","provider":"Blessviva","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
