Growing Requirements
To maintain its sweet, candy-like flavor, follow these care tips:
Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; more sun generally increases the concentration of aromatic essential oils.
Soil: Prefers rich, moist, and well-drained soil.
Containment: Because it spreads via underground runners (rhizomes), it is highly recommended to grow it in containers or pots to prevent it from becoming invasive in your garden.
