Sweet nannarium was a type of flower. During the High Republic Era, Galactic Republic Supreme Chancellor Kyong Greylark had several types of flowers from across the galaxy, including sweet nannarium, transplanted to a temperature- and humidity-controlled hothouse on the top floor of her home on the planet Coruscant. The flowers were used to decorate her residence and were brought to Greylark's meetings so that distant ambassadors could enjoy local blooms.[1] In 382 BBY,[2] while Greylark was waiting for news about her missing son, Axel Greylark, she visited her hothouse and noticed the sweet nannarium.[1]
Behind the scenes
- "She grows, like in her hothouse, she grows like native plants from all the different planets so that like when people come to visit on Coruscant, like they're welcomed with something that reminds them of home."
- ―Lydia Kang
Sweet nannarium appeared in The High Republic: Cataclysm, a 2023 novel written by Lydia Kang as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase II.[4] In an interview, Kang stated that Greylark grew plants in her hothouse that were from different planets so that visitors would be welcomed with something that reminded them of their home.[3] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, nannarium first appeared in Assault at Selonia, a 1995 novel written by Roger MacBride Allen as the second volume of Star Wars: The Corellian Trilogy.[5]
