Flora : Southernwood

Southernwood / Lad's Love


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southernwood


Southernwood easily strikes root from young or old wood cutting.
It grows well in full shade, partial shade or full sun.
Not picky about the planting medium.
It just needs occasional feeding and good soil moisture.

Southernwood is a rigorous grower, sprouting new shoots from ground and trimmed stems.
It will grow into a big bush if planted in ground and left untrimmed.

Make a very aromatic garnish for steaming fish. Just cut a few stalks and place them on the steamer pan, and stuff a few sprigs into the fish's belly.

Try experimenting with stews. Just bear in mind southernwood is a strong aromatic herb.
