Hi Margaret,
This is an interesting herb I have just recently learned about and was
surprised to see it in the Richters catalog that I just got. I was under
the impression that people were still researching how to germinate it. I
also thought that it had to be grown at a high altitude? 8000ft? This is
all from memory of reading an excerp from an herb book. It I find out more
I will let you know.
