6 Lippia Alba Cuttings Pitiona Oaxaca Lemon Verbena Juanilama Bushy Matgrass

Description: You will receive 6 unrooted cuttings, each approximately 8” long, from our beautiful Lippia Alba growing in sunny FL. Home grown naturally using regenerative methods with lots of love and zero chemicals or pesticides. You will receive fresh unrooted cuttings that are mature woody cuttings, just like those in the first few photos. These cuttings are cut fresh to order, the same day I ship them to you. I strip most of the leaves off and the bottoms will be wrapped with wet paper towels to retain moisture and packaged with great care for safe shipping. IMPORTANT: I cannot ship this item to CA or AZ. If you are in any of these states your order will be cancelled. Growing Info & TipsLippia alba is a delightful small tropical/subtropical woody shrub with light green leaves and pretty clusters of small pink flowers that have a wonderfully uplifting citrusy smell. It grows as a perennial in zones 9-11 favoring growing in part shade, and gets to about 5-6ft tall with a 3ft spread, that is easily pruned to your liking. It is very easily to grow, low maintenance, and loved by the pollinators. From these cuttings you will be harvesting and enjoying the leaves and flowers within the year! I just love the aroma that lippia alba adds to the garden, such a sweet citrusy smell! For Planting the Lippia Alba Cuttings:Please put the cuttings in small glass of water as soon as possible upon arrival. I recommend propagating them in water. Simply put the cuttings in a mason jar or clear glass with water until they are a quarter to halfway submerged. Keep the jar in a sunny area and change the water often. In 2-4 weeks time, you will start to see new growth sprouting from the cuttings and then roots beginning to form. Wait until you have a decent amount of roots before transferring to soil. When transplanting them in soil, I recommend putting them in pots first, keep them in the shade, and watered until they are more established & then you can up pot or transfer to the ground. You can also opt to propagate the cuttings directly in the soil (instead of in water), and if you chose to do that I would suggest a natural rooting hormone to help them along. Taste and PreparationThe fragrant Lippia Alba leaves can be used to flavor soups and sauces or steeped into a tasty, lemony flavored tea which I really enjoy. Essential oil can also be extracted from the leaves. Additionally, the leaves, root and flowers can be used in different ways as an herbal ally. Please do your own research before using/consuming. Please Note: All of my cuttings are fresh and viable. Growing plants is fun! The majority of the time it is a success but sometimes it’s not. This just is the way it is with nature and gardening. I hope you experience success with all the cuttings, however because I am not there to plant them, I cannot be responsible for rooting failure due to improper planting or climate conditions etc. I do include a detailed note with planting advice with your order to help ensure your success. Shipping of Cuttings: I ship my cuttings via the Postal Service, USPS, as a First Class package with tracking. I will freshly cut the cuttings on the same day that i ship them to you. I will package them in paper towel with great care to ensure safe delivery to you. These are fresh cuttings that will need to be planted upon their arrival to you.
