Grows best in an average to dry, well-drained soil, in full sun. They are drought tolerant, once established. Wet soils without proper drainage are detrimental to the plant, especially in the winter months, when it is dormant.
Frequently used fresh or dried as a seasoning or brewed to make tea. Some of the therapeutic benefits include memory enhancement, hormone stimulant, natural antibiotic, and improved digestion.
