30 Hovey Papaya Seeds
Grow papaya from supplier-labeled Hovey seed. Papaya is a fast-growing, frost-sensitive tropical fruit plant for full sun and warm conditions. Because these plants are seed-grown, mature height, fruit flavor, yield, sex expression, and time to fruit can vary; dwarf growth and rapid fruiting are not guaranteed.
