in stockThe stem of the plant is covered in glands that release a volatile, inflammable, lemon-scented essential oil, which can be lit without harming the gas plant. This feature has also garnered the plant the name "burning bush", even though it is not an indigenous species in the biblical territories.
It was once used as a popular remedy, for example with Hildegard von Bingen, but because of its toxic ingredients, none of the plant parts should be ingested. Also, the above-ground parts of the perennial are phototoxic.
Seeds, content: Approx. 20 Dittany seeds

Sowing & cultivation
The seeds need frost and light. Therefore, it's best to sow them in autumn or in early spring and to sieve only a little bit of earth over it. Outdoor sowing is preferred as the dittany doesn't tolerate replanting as it damages the taproot. It may take several months until the plant germinates. Loves permeable, chalky soils and sunny locations.
Pruning back in autumn is recommended.
