Yes, it must be a great bonus to have it as a wild flower on your property.

Its also very herbaceous and can be a good tea, if used very sparingly so theres a deep hot almost piney smell from them.

I've come to love it. At first I wasn't sure. :-)

There's nothing better than home-grown or natural
herbs, vegetables and fruits...you just can't beat the
freshness.
