Yerba Mansa (Anemopsis californica) potted plant, organic

$11.00

Family:  Lizard Tail (Saururacea)

Hardy to Zones 7 to 12

(Manso, Yerba del Manso, Lizard Tail) Creeping herbaceous perennial.  Native to the Southwestern US and California.  Does well in pots.  The succulent, ovate leaves give rise to white, sometimes rose-tinged coneflowers.  The entire plant smells good–spicy and warm.  Traditional usage (American Indian, TWM): colds, arthritis athlete’s foot, wound dressing, general antibiotic and antifungal.  The plant prefers sodden soils and hot sun, an unusual combination.  It is often found in association with geothermal springs, and there is a good wild stand at Jemez springs in NM. The plants make multiple upright flowers to 20 inches tall, and may be spaced 1 to 2 feet apart.

Potted plant, Certified Organically Grown

      Just updated this record yesterday to plants on hand and already sold out. I won’t have these again until 2020.

      Hi Diana, I can’t do that for you, you need to hit “waitlist” on Yerba Mansa plants and then you’ll get an automatic e-mail when they are again enabled. Great plant, we’re working on it! Richo

      Hello Peiwen, Thanks for writing. The Lizard Tail (Saururacea) is so cool. These are basically paleoherbs (relicts from the past) and so are long-lived and in no hurry to mature. I’ve noticed they attain full size after 3 years or so. richo

      Hello. Is Yerba Santa a good substitute for Yerba Mansa?

      Hi Kathy, Thanks for contacting. Not that I know of, they aren’t closely related–santa is mainly upper respiratory, mansa more of a topical antiseptic, antifungal. richo
