Hello Aaron,
This is a semi-arid plant of full sun exposure. It doesn’t do particularly well indoors, but is such an easy and forgiving grower that it might even make some herb if left in a bright window.

I wasn’t able to harvest my epazote before it bolted, now flowers are mixed in with my dried leaves. Is it suitable for use with the dried flowers mixed in?

hello hannah, yes, this is fine. You may need to use less, the herb gets more intense in flower and seed. richo
