Question
Where online can I purchase patchouli seeds? I live in Indianapolis, IN so I want to plant patchouli this summer. Looking for either online or local store.
Thanks.

Answer
Good Morning, Connie! The only place I will ever get my Patchouli plants from is a great herb nursery in Canada called Richters. I don't bother growing Patchouli from seed...it's long and not always successful, plus, I usually only buy one plant.  Once it's had a few weeks to settle in, I take stem cuttings and they root in no time, as they're so closely related to mints, which will root in a glass of water.


Richters carries herbs that no one else carries and they're not at all expensive.  Their web address is:  www.richters.com.  If anything goes wrong with a plant you purchase from them, they replace it no questions.  Plus, their greenhouse pros will give you advice over the phone.

If you contact them, tell them Eirinn (pronounced Erin) at Rose of Erin sent you.

Have a great gardening season!
