Dong-ling-cao (Isodon rubescens), potted plant, organic

(2 customer reviews)

$8.50

Family: Mint (Lamiaceae)

Hardy to zone 8 to 11

(Blushred Rabdosia) Herbaceous perennial native to China.  The crown is tough and clumping, not spreading.  In zones 8 and 9, the plant acts like an herbaceous perennial.  In zones 10 and 11, a woody perennial bush.  The flowers are long-lasting and showy.  The foliage emits the fragrance of basil and pine.  Traditional usage (TCM): Breast cancer.  Source of diterpenoic molecule oridonin. Plant prefers normal garden conditions, with sun and regular watering.   These are pretty on a border and tend to size themselves well in potted culture.  I have had them live for years in pots with little attention, also perennialize solidly and make sturdy bushes in outdoor culture.   Space plants 3 feet apart.

Potted plant, certified organically grown
