Description

Syderitis syriaca. 3.7L coir pot.

Native to the mountains surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, this aromatic, woody perennial was traditionally taken as a tea due to its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.

The leaves and flowers can be boiled in water and often honey and lemon are added.

Traditionally, the plant has been used to strengthen the immune system, relieve coughs and congestion, aid with digestion problems, mild pain and anxiety. The plant is also believed to assist with stomach ailments, insomnia and restlessness.

Preferring a full sun location, this plant is very hardy once established.
