Lippia Dulcis GrowFlow™ Organic

Native to Central America, Nicaragua and Mexico, Lippia dulcis is well grown in mild and damp climate and under full sun exposure. This 30 cm height grown plant isn`t evergreen, which means, it may lose its 5 cm sized leaves some months during the year. However, during spring time, small beautiful white conical spikes flowers appear. When grown, Lippia (Phyla) dulcis has a shrub-like development. For better performance, fertilize the soil by the end of the winter and water rarely, about once every 2-3 weeks. The pleasant sweetness rising from this special plant`s leaves comes from 4 main ingredients: ascorbic acid, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and hernandulcin. That is a natural sweetener for sugar and its substitutes in foods and beverages. Habit: Trailing

Point of Sale:

The Aztecs used this plant as a sugar plant for their cooking and to ease coughs, colds, bronchitis & asthma.
