Plant Name: Indian Borage
Other Names: Mexican Mint
Description: The stems are thicker than normal mint, even though they are the same mint family. It has a very strong pizza smell.
Uses: Apparently, the leaves are good for people coughing. I tried a couple of months back, using the leaves to make into hot tea, and amazingly, the urge to cough is gone! They can also be used as a flavoring to meat dishes.
Cultivation: Indian Borage doesn't tolerate over-watering. I used to water twice a day, but the stem rot (turn to black), so cut down on the watering part. They prefer semi-shaded area.
Propagation: by stem cuttings
