I pinched a leaf off a friend's plant last year and now have half a dozen beautiful plants. Very easy to grow, smells wonderful and looks beautiful. I will bring in some small plants to winter over inside.

I bought a tiny plant at the beginning of the spring and it grew rapidly into a large, lush plant which is excellent in Mexican and Italian cooking. It propogates easily both in water and with rooting hormone, although I found the latter to be much easier. It seemed to take longer than most herbs to root in water. It is in a container garden on my deck and receives sunny to mostly sunny conditions.
