Cultural Information
Height: 2 Feet Hardiness: Perennial in Zones 10-11 Flower Color: White Characteristics: Full/Partial Sun Uses: Fragrant, Ornamental
It prefers rich moist soil with high humidity. We have success growing it in full sun in our greenhouses but it may also do well in partial shade. In tropical areas where the plant is cultivated commercially, they are spaced 60 cm to 100 cm apart. They reach heights of 40 to 80 cm. In areas with hot, dry summers, patchouli will benefit from frequent watering. Use a sprinkler or misting nozzle to increase the humidity as much as possible. If you grow it outdoors in summer, a dressing of well- rotted manure or application of liquid fish fertilizer will be helpful. When the temperatures begin to drop in fall patchouli will shed its leaves. It is necessary to move it indoors in a bright sunny window.
It can be cropped twice a year and is usually replaced every three to four years. The dappled light through the trees provides the appropriate balance of sun and shade that this plant loves (it can be grown in more sun, but the water requirements significantly increase).
The patchouli is a permanently growing aromatic plant that normally grows up to a height of three feet or one meter. The plant bears square stalks, oval leaves and barbs. The barbs of the patchouli plant bears spiral shaped or whorls of flowers that vary from white to pale purple in color.
The patchouli is considered to be a valuable herb in Asia, particularly in China, India and the Arab nations. Since ages, herbal medical practitioners have been extensively using the herb to treat various disorders. The most common use of the herb has been as an aphrodisiac or a medication to develop or intensify sexual desire among people. On the other hand, the oil extracted from the plant is widely used in India in the preparation of fragrances as well as pest repellents.
