The Search for Dittany

This little herb was quite a difficult find for this Floridian. I searched high and low, every google search result, and every local nursery. Justin and I stopped by Rockledge Gardens about a month or so ago and I'm pretty sure that the woman who helped me thought I was some type of witch. Oddly enough, the first site I found through google that would sell dittany plants was a Wicca supply website.

I did eventually find a website for a nursery in Delaware that happened to sell dittany. This is the site.

I was actually able to find not only dittany of crete for sale, but also costmary which I couldn't find anywhere else for sale.

Anyway, so in all my research that brought me to want dittany in my garden, I learned quite a bit about the herb. For example, did you know that it is also called the burning bush because the plant is so woolly that it will catch fire like tinder? Kind of neat huh?

We'll see how it all ends up. I've never gotten live plants in the mail before.
