Notes
These plants NEED proper support or they will fall over.
A couple did fall over and die on me. If planting make sure to plant more than you think you will need.
These were an amazing add to Asian dishes! They dehydrated very well too.
I am overwintering 3 of these plants for the 2026 season. Neither survived 😥
