Pegaga have been producing a lot of leaves. It disappear for about 6 months and make a come back last month. I think it went into hibernation like the polar bear! ;)
Luckily I never discharge the soil in this pot. It was left under the mango tree. Out of nowhere, suddenly I saw it regrow back last month! Miracle of gardening I guess!
This leaves are very beneficial. I have wrote about the benefit few years ago. This herbs is so much welcomed to my garden!
I grow pegagan on our raised bed in backyard. But stalks are so slim, I think too much shade here.
ReplyDeleteI think it can grow in shade. Mine is at partial shade area too ;)
DeleteCertainly a great plant to grow. I think they are best eaten raw or get the juice to drink.
ReplyDeleteI seldom do juice but I must do! hahaha..
DeleteA lovely surprise!
ReplyDeleteIndeed Sue! ;)
Deleteyes, they are best eaten as salad. They also enhance memory. Malar, I don't know how the shankha pushpa tonic is made.
ReplyDeleteI must start plucking them! ;)
