Never sprouted
by ANUSHA
Sadly, not one has sprouted. I was really hoping to get at least 1 plant since it's a sacred plant in our culture and has great medicinal uses.

Prolific and sweet-smelling
by Kim
I grew this as a border plant and it was great - very fast growing. I love the smell and it was popular with lots of pollinators. Harvested after flowering and dried the leaves to use as tea.
