Strictly Medicinal Yerba Mansa

Strictly Medicinal Yerba Mansa

Fragrant Plant

Yerba Mansa (Lizard Tail) - Anemopsis californica

Creeping herbaceous perennial. Native to the Southwestern US and California. Hardy to 10 degrees F. Does well in pots. The succulent, ovate leaves give rise to white, sometimes rose-tinged coneflowers. The entire plant smells good--spicy and warm. It is often found in association with geothermal springs. As might be expected, the plant is a heat dependent germinator, and high temperatures (up to 100 degrees F) and long germination times (about 3 months) are usually required to get results.

    Open Pollinated 100 seeds/pkt.
