Horehound is a hardy, perennial herb known for its wrinkled, gray-green leaves and small white flowers. It has a slightly bitter taste and is traditionally used in herbal remedies, especially for coughs and digestion. Growing up to 2 feet tall, horehound thrives in full sun and dry, well-drained soil. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it attracts pollinators and repels pests, making it a great addition to herb gardens.

Upon receiving horehound in the mail, unpack immediately and water if dry. Allow it to rest in indirect light for a day. Plant in sandy or rocky soil with good drainage. Water lightly—horehound prefers dry conditions. Prune regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent excessive spreading, as it can self-seed aggressively.
