That's so cool you're growing your own...you've inspired me to try doing that.
We have it here it's yummy. Especially when you're sick. They also put it in bathtubs when bathing.

Unfortunately it (Sideritis plant) only grows on the European continent and temperate regions of Asia. 1,000 meter's or higher.

Getting anything from there now costs a pretty non existent penny, because of tariffs. 🫤

Was this grown from a seed from somewhere you got it?

Multiple sources have said this is a possibility and likely imported, which has other importation problems. Many states have their own importation laws on seeds.

I know my own mother smuggled in a root from Germany once. And was darn lucky she wasn't caught doing so. Unfortunately the root died here. 😞
Very effective for insomnia! Also great for anxiety. This is no joke being both an antimicrobial and an antiviral. It also has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and analgesic properties.

Note too that you can also use the root.

Too bad it doesn't actually heal sword wounds. They must have been lousy with them.
