The other comments about this plant being invasive: All you have to do is harvest or cut the plant down before it goes to seed. If you see flower buds or flowers, cut it. You are probably like me and growing this plant to harvest the leaves anyway.

Hey, I was hesitant from reading some of these reviews, saying that it did not sprout… But I’m super happy with my results…
I only used half of the seed packet. I anticipate sharing my plants with all my family and friends… Perfect gifts for any occasion holistic healing. It will be a new experience for me for sure.
