Description

Aromatic and hardy with silvery leaves and tiny purple, white, and pink blossoms, horehound is a member of the mint family often used to soothe coughs, sore throats, and wounds. Some value this bitter herb as a digestive aid. Horehound is commonly used as a candy and potpourri ingredient.

Care

White Horehound is easy to grow and prefers full sun in sandy, dry soil with an acidic to neutral pH. Although it can tolerate moist or poor soil. It can be weedy and is usually found in disturbed and overgrazed areas. Livestock tend to ignore it and eat other plants around it, which causes the spread of the weed.

Growth Habit

It spreads slowly and at maturity (in 2 to 5 years), it can reach a height of 2 feet with an equal width. The bloom season is long with flowers appearing from June to November. If the plant is cut back after flowering it will normally produce a second crop of leaves. The fresh leaves have a musky smell that fades once the plant is dried.
