Coffea (Coffee Plant)

Coffea

1 cultivar

Coffea is a genus of tropical evergreen shrubs and small trees best known around the world for producing coffee beans. Beyond its immense global agricultural importance, the Coffee Plant is widely cultivated as an attractive, robust ornamental for homes, greenhouses, and warm-climate gardens. It features lush, deep-green, heavily ribbed and glossy foliage that grows on upright, elegant branches. Under the right conditions, mature Coffea plants produce clusters of highly fragrant, star-shaped white flowers that bloom along the stems. These delicate blossoms are followed by small green berries, known as coffee cherries, which eventually ripen to a rich, glossy red or deep burgundy, each containing the sought-after seeds. While they thrive outdoors in tropical environments (Zones 10-11), Coffee Plants are incredibly popular and adaptable as indoor houseplants. They flourish in bright, indirect light and appreciate consistent moisture and humidity. Whether grown for a lush, leafy addition to a brightly lit living room or the novelty of harvesting your own small batch of coffee cherries, Coffea is a rewarding and beautiful plant to cultivate.
