Horehound

Horehound is an evergreen perennial.  I grew mine from seed.  The leaves and stems can be dried and used to make tinctures, syrups, teas, and lozenges.  Horehound is a good cough medicine, but it can also be used as a vermifuge, a digestive, and a sedative.  It can be used to treat fevers and malaria as well.
