“We planted the seeds just to see what would happen,” Boonville resident Doyle Crenshawn said.
The plant has produced large white bouquets of orange flowers that resemble pumpkin flowers.
“I gave them garden fertilizer every two weeks and they just started growing like crazy,” Crenshaw said.
The man planted the seeds before USDA officials issued a warning to recipients not to plant them.
“The problem comes from the invasive pest aspect: These seeds can lead to invasive weeds, invasive insect pests or plant diseases,” said Scott Bray with the Arkansas Department of Agriculture.

US residents in all 50 states reported receiving strange, unsolicited parcels of seeds.
A handful of seeds arrive in small, sealed clear plastic bags and are packed in standard size light gray or beige envelopes.
“The package said it was from China and on the outside it said ‘cuff earrings,’ and we thought that was a little weird,” Crenshaw admitted.
It is unclear who is behind the packages, but US agriculture officials said they believed the seeds could be part of a "scam" where people receive goods they never ordered and then the sender posts a fake customer review on their behalf with aim to increase sales.
US agriculture officials are urging recipients to keep the seeds sealed and call them so they can collect them.
