Notes

'Dwarf Moringa' moringa (Moringa oleifera 'Dwarf Moringa') is a tree for food gardens, containers, and xeriscapes. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers. It tolerates drought, so it is a low maintenance choice.

Pairs well with French lavender, Desert mallow, and Anaheim pepper.
