Epazote is a traditional Central American herb valued for its distinctive, musky aroma and bold flavour that has been a staple of Mexican and Guatemalan cooking for centuries. Growing to around 60 cm tall, this fast-growing annual produces narrow, aromatic green leaves that are harvested throughout the season.
Young shoots and leaves are commonly added to soups, while small quantities of the mature leaves are used to flavour bean dishes, corn, seafood and traditional Mexican recipes such as black beans and quesadillas. Due to its strong flavour, a little goes a long way. Historically, Epazote has also been used in traditional herbal medicine, although today it is grown primarily as a culinary herb.
Approximately 2,000–2,500 seeds per gram
Approximately 100 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)

Planting / Sowing
Sow seed on the surface or cover very lightly with 2–3 mm of fine seed-raising mix in a sunny, well-drained position. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
