Mondia whytei 
15 seeds
 "Tonic root"
Mondia whitei is both medicinally widely used and an excellent garden subject where a climber is needed for providing a shaded area.
Mondia whitei is a perennial, woody, rather robust and vigorous climber that grows from a large tuberous rootstock. The roots are aromatic and apparently taste like ginger or liquorice and have an aroma reminding one of vanilla.
The flowers are reddish purple. 
Mondia has for a long time been extensively and widely used in traditional medicine.
The early Portuguese in Angola boiled the leaves with butter or olive oil to substitute it for spinach. In South Africa the root is sometimes cooked with meat to enhance the flavour. The plant has great nutritional value as it contains the vitamins A, D, K and E, and the minerals, magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium and protein.
Sow seed in spring when temperatures are warm. Fill seed-trays with compost and soil mixed in even amounts. Use a mixture of 50% seedling mix (or alternatively peat-moss or vermiculite) and 50% river sand. Sow seed and lightly cover with sand. Keep in a warm place that is moist at all times. Seedlings will germinate after ± 2(3–6) weeks. After germination protect the young plants from wind and sun and continue to water regularly – do not let the soil dry out completely. Seedlings grow rapidly in the growing season – up to 30 cm every 3–4 days. When the long stems develop, trail these as soon as possible to prevent them from getting all tangled. When plants are 15 cm tall, re-pot in bags or pots or directly in the garden when needed. Plants should be given plenty of growing space.
