Balm Of Gilead 100 mm

Balm of Gilead is an aromatic perennial herb that has sprays of soft pink flowers and pungent cedar scented foliage.

Like many herbs, Balm of Gilead is both good for cooking and for health. It has been used for generations as an aid to clearing a sore throat. A strong cup of Balm of Gilead (also called The de Canaries) with a few leaves of Stevia and some fresh peppermint makes a refreshing and calming afternoon tea. Although its prime use is as a health tonic, the leaves can be added to salads and marinades for a pungent flavour. 

Plant in a well drained spot in the garden  and does well in poor dry soils. Cut back hard in early autumn to keep it in shape. Part to full sun position and tolerates a light frost. Water during summer months when dry.
