I was at a local nursery the other day and saw them selling it for $18 for a small bunch!!! I simply couldn't believe it. Anyway, I would love to trade some of this for other things that fancy me Some of these things are; Chamomile Calendula Lavender Thyme Rosemary Spearmint Catnip Echinecea (sorry if I spelled anything wrong ) Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report

Pardon my ignorance but I'm fairly new to this gardening thing and I don't know what that means? It develops a seed stalk much like other grasses and it is anywhere from 1' to 3' tall.
