Well, I just think you have to grow some Yerba Buena. CLAY, SAND and SHADE TOLERANT, it also grows under oaks and makes a lush, flat, evergreen groundcover for shade, spreading to 6’ across and up to 2" tall. Fantastic used as a trailer, especially over a shady wall, you can even grow it in a hanging basket. It roots along the stems, not by rhizomes and is not invasive. The rich, green, scalloped leaves are held oppositely on the stems and little, flaring, tubular, white to purple flowers appear summer thru fall. Easy, tough and long lived, it smells heavenly and makes a healthful and tasty, mint-like tea. Historically, this herb was used by indigenous communities ranging from British Columbia to Southern California. Very pretty and deer resistant, too! It’s perfect in every way! Just give an annual bit of compost and cut back occasionally to promote bushiness. Drought tolerant, but best with some summer water.

I’ve purchased this plant several times. Where it has really thrived is in pots, planted under the cherry monkey flower. It is a lovely fresh green, and it looks so nice trailing over the side.

Growing well here in 8B so far.
Bought a couple of these-they arrived healthy. I planted them immediately and they are doing well, already growing wider and even a few flowers. I'm hoping they will help suppress weeds.

Delicious
Easy to grow. I cut and dry for tea which is both healthy and yummy.
