Navajo Tea - (Thelesperma megapotanicum)

Succeeds in any moderately fertile well-drained soil in full sun. This species is not very hardy outdoors in Britain, usually requiring cold greenhouse treatment. According to one report this species might be no more than a synonym for T. gracile.

Flower buds. No more details are given. A tea is made from the fresh or dried leaves and flowering stems. When well made it is delicious, with just a hint of mint in its aftertaste.

Seed - sow spring in situ, only just covering the seed. In dry weather the seed should be watered in. Division might be possible.
