Notes

» One pot plant is a perennial, dying back at the start of Summer. The other one crept across the patio and then completely died off. All parts of the plant - flowers, leaves, stems, rhizomes - can be eaten. But personally I find the stems cause slight stomach pain. Leaves can reach 16cm across.
