Patchouli
Silene capensis
Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin)
Known for its distinct, earthy fragrance, the Patchouli plant is a tropical herb cherished for its aromatic leaves and essential oil, which is widely used in perfumes, incense, and skincare products. With its large, lush, dark green leaves and striking, spiky lavender flowers, Patchouli adds both beauty and fragrance to your garden.
This perennial herb thrives in warm, humid conditions and requires full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. While it’s not cold-hardy in most climates (it’s best grown as an annual or indoors in cooler zones), Patchouli is a relatively low-maintenance plant once established. Harvest the leaves regularly for their potent, musky scent, and consider distilling your own essential oil at home for a truly fresh, natural experience.
