It is easy to grow and seeds itself prolifically. The aroma of the leaf is oftentimes compared to gasoline or turpentine, because of the oils found in the leaves. Those stinky oils are what make this culinary and medicinal herb a potent digestive aid. If cooked or brewed into a hot tea some of the intense aroma is mellowed and it becomes more palatable. This super unique red variety was sourced by seed collectors in Oaxaca and we noticed that not only are the leaves beautifully shimmering with hues of red, green and everything in between, but this variety bolts and goes to seed much slower than the common green variety. While the green plants in our demonstration make small leaves and start flowering at about 6 inches tall, these variety got about 4 feet tall before flowering and the leaves are much larger. Save seeds so you can replant for yourself next season! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little River Cooperative","offers":[{"title":"4\" potted plant","offer_id":42665022685266,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 gal potted plant","offer_id":42665022718034,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 gal potted plant","offer_id":42665022750802,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/4461\/files\/redepazote.jpg?v=1786464123","url":"https:\/\/littlerivernursery.co\/products\/oaxacan-red-epazote","provider":"Little River Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
