How to Start It

★ Recommended for beginners

Stand a few stems in a glass of water; roots appear within a week. Pot them up in rich, moisture-retentive mix. A single plant quickly fills a pot.

Also called rau răm or Vietnamese mint. It rarely sets seed in cool climates, so it's grown from cuttings, which root in days. It's frost tender — grow it in a pot and overwinter it on a bright windowsill.
