The corner store on my block has a beautiful 8-foot tall indoor coffee tree that blooms each year. Not the same plant, or native, lol, but the picture made me think of it.
I lost 1 of 3 plants this year. They were planted last year as tiny plugs. I’m not sure what happened other then I think I stepped right on one early this spring. I do know they like it really dry and well drained. If you are sitting on clay or wet soil, the root will rot and not come back.
One of my favorites! I have the red variety here, and have a mixed color seed packet i didnt get around to planting this year. I love the flavor of the flowers and leaves in tea! If you’re sick with any sort of sinus thing, tea with beebalm clears it out almost instantly, and keepy you clear while drinking the tea, and up to 15 mins after.
The plant tastes like oregano with a hint of an orange citrus taste.
