A spreading herbaceous perennial 45cm high, rooting at the nodes, with reddish-purplish stems, aromatic, lance-shaped leaves which are green with a dark purple-brown chevron, and spikes of tiny pink flowers in summer.

This herb is known for its pungent, peppery flavor and is widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine. 

Grow plants in a sheltered spot in sun to partial shade, in a rich, fertile soil. Being native to tropical regions, it’s frost tender, so either take cuttings for next year or grow in pots for easy overwintering.
