Needs lots of sun and rich, well drained, moist soil. Needs help surviving cold winters. When harvesting, clip plant back to 2/3 the original size, preferably just before flowering. To dry, hang bunches of stems, place the leaves on trays, or use a dehydrator. Make a decoction of leaves for cols, sinus congestion, fevers, nervousness, insomnia, dyspepsia, cramps, or as an antibacterial.
