This hardy annual thrives in warm climates and adds a simple, natural charm to herb gardens, borders, or container plantings, making it a distinctive choice for gardeners seeking uncommon botanical interest.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis herb is primarily grown for its ornamental appeal and traditional culinary or cultural uses in certain regions, where the tender leaves and shoots may be used as a leafy green. It exhibits a vigorous, self-seeding nature and performs best in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade, requiring minimal care once established. Space plants about 12 inches apart to allow for their bushy, upright growth, and enjoy the subtle texture they bring to garden beds or pots.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Leucas aspera\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Thumbai\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Herb\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, branched annual\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, sandy or loamy\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 60-75 days (for leaf harvest)\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: Annual in all zones (tropical perennial in zones 10-11)\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 7-21 days at 70-85°F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Sow seeds on soil surface, press lightly, keep moist\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 12 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Self-seeds readily; tolerates poor soil\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663107817608,"sku":"EXGA-355","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_daead195-df9a-4916-8b21-603a77aec78c.png?v=1791895702","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/10-seeds-leucas-aspera-thumbai-herb-plant","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
