Patchouli

This non-edible herb is best known for its earthy and relaxing scent. To release the essential oils, steam or dry and rub the leaves. A mellow addition to sachets and potpourri. Plant prefers full to part shade, moist, rich soils, humidity. The plant thrives under good care but fades fast with neglect–it needs watering almost daily, has zero tolerance for frost and will sunburn if not protected by shade.
