CALEA ZACATECHICHI
DREAM HERB "spear-leaf variety"
The two varieties often available are labeled "bitter" or "nonbitter"
there has been much confusion over which is the 'real' dream herb;
Both varieties were originally grown from the same batch of seeds;
so it's not two different plants, but a morphology of the same plant.
Round-leaf grow short and bushy, and spear-leaf grow fast and tall.
Grows well in full sun or shade. Perennial, grow back after freezing.
