Description
If you enjoy growing fragrant plants, balm of Gilead (Cedronella canariensis) is a must-try. The bushy, branching plants generally reach 2 to 3 feet tall, with shiny, bright green, three-parted leaves that have a strong, somewhat citrusy, camphor-like scent (obviously, it’s kind of hard to describe, but once you smell it, you won’t forget it). This mint-family member also blooms, with clusters of pink flowers, but the aromatic foliage is really this plant’s key feature, so keep it where you can easily rub or brush by the leaves: in a container planting, for instance, or next to a path or garden bench.
Full sun to light shade. Tender perennial (hardy in Zones 9 to 11; elsewhere you could grow it as an annual or keep it in a pot and bring it indoors for the winter).
Harvested in September and October 2020. At least 10 seeds.
Please read the germination information as well before ordering.
