Family:  Mint (Lamiaceae)

Hardy to Zones 5 to 9

(Bo-he)  Herbaceous perennial native to China.  Taste pleasant, not overpowering, very clean.  I find this to be similar to peppermint, equally vigorous, always bright green, and. . . I like the taste better.  Traditional use (TCM): One of the Chinese herbs that cools and releases the exterior. Used to treat fever, cough, red eyes and sore throat.  Source of menthol.  Plant prefers sun to part shade and moist soils.  Space plants 1 to 2 feet apart.
