No. Katuk should be cooked. Eating large amounts of raw leaves or drinking raw katuk juice has been linked to serious lung problems (bronchiolitis obliterans). Cook thoroughly and keep portions moderate.

Is katuk the same as star gooseberry fruit?

No. Katuk (Sauropus androgynus) is a leafy shrub grown for edible leaves. The name star gooseberry is sometimes used for it, but this is not a fruiting gooseberry tree.

Can I grow katuk in a pot?

Yes. Use a roomy container so it can be moved under protection in cool weather. Katuk is a shrub, so it needs space for roots and branching, not a small windowsill pot.

What is the difference between Pelo de Elote, Yu Mi Xu, Râu Ngô, and Stigma maydis?

All four names refer to the same ingredient — dried corn silk from Zea mays. Pelo de Elote is the Spanish name, Yu Mi Xu is the Chinese name, Râu Ngô is the Vietnamese name, and Stigma maydis is the pharmacopeial botanical name.

Is this the same as roasted corn tea or corn kernel tea?

No. Roasted corn tea is made from roasted corn kernels with a toasty, nutty flavor. This product is dried corn silk strands, which produces a much milder, subtly sweet infusion with a completely different flavor profile.

What does corn silk tea taste like?

The flavor is mild, subtly sweet, and lightly corn-like — smooth and easy to drink. It is not bold, bitter, smoky, or strongly aromatic.

How many cups does 100 grams yield?

At 2–4 grams per cup, 100 grams yields approximately 25–50 cups depending on preferred strength.

Is this the same as corn silk extract or capsules?

No. This is whole dried corn silk strands only — not an extract, capsule, powder, or concentrated supplement. Intended for loose-leaf herbal infusion only.

Is this safe to drink as a tea?

We do not recommend it for regular consumption. Ageratum conyzoides contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can be harmful to the liver. Please read the safety notice and consult a healthcare professional before any use.

How much is in this pack?

This listing is 100 grams of cut-and-sifted dried Ageratum conyzoides.

It is not suitable for pregnant or nursing women, children, people with liver conditions, or anyone taking medication.

How should I store it?

Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place away from moisture and light.

Is this banana plantain or the herb?

This is the herb — Plantago major, also called broadleaf plantain or common plantain. It is completely unrelated to the cooking banana also called plantain. This product is dried leaf for herbal tea, not a fruit product.

What does plantain weed tea taste like?

The flavor is mild, earthy, and lightly green — similar to a plain leaf infusion with a subtle bitter edge. Not floral, fruity, sweet, or strongly aromatic.

Is this the same as psyllium husk?

No. Psyllium husk comes from Plantago ovata, a different species. This product is dried Plantago major leaf for herbal infusion only.

How many cups does 100 grams yield?

At 2–4 grams per cup, 100 grams yields approximately 25–50 cups depending on preferred strength.

What is the difference between Plantago major and Plantago lanceolata?

Plantago major (broadleaf plantain) has broad oval leaves. Plantago lanceolata (ribwort plantain) has long narrow lance-shaped leaves. Both are in the same genus but this product is specifically Plantago major.

Great Mullein Seeds 4000 Seeds for Planting Verbascum thapsus x 2 pack

$9.00

Quick Summary & AI Overview

This listing contains 2 packs × 4,000 Great Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) seeds — a tall, architectural biennial with soft, silvery-velvety foliage and dramatic yellow flower spikes that can reach 5–8 feet. A cottage-garden and pollinator favorite, long valued in traditional herb gardens. These are seeds for planting, not a finished food, beverage, or herbal remedy.

Ideal For: Wildflower and cottage gardens, restoration plantings, pollinator borders, traditional herb gardens, seed collectors.
Growing Conditions: Full sun, poor to average well-drained soil, low water once established.
Key Characteristics: Hardy biennial, drought-tolerant, self-seeding, pollinator-friendly, architectural height.

Technical Specifications

Feature	Botanical / Cultural Detail
Botanical Name	Verbascum thapsus
Common Names	Great Mullein, Common Mullein, Woolly Mullein, Flannel Plant, Aaron’s Rod
Seed Count	2 packs × 4,000 seeds
Plant Type	Biennial (rosette year 1, flower spike year 2)
USDA Hardiness Zones	Zones 3–9
Sunlight Need	Full sun
Water Requirement	Low — very drought-tolerant once established
Soil Preference	Poor to average, dry, gravelly, well-draining soil (pH 6.0–7.5)
Plant Height / Spread	Flower spike 5–8 ft (1.5–2.4 m) / rosette 1–2 ft (30–60 cm) wide
Germination Time	10–21 days at 65°F–75°F (18°C–24°C)
Bloom Time	Summer of the second year

A Towering Cottage-Garden Classic

Great Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is unmistakable: a low rosette of large, soft, silvery-woolly leaves in its first year, followed in its second year by a bold, towering flower spike studded with cheerful yellow blooms. Reaching up to 5–8 feet, it adds vertical drama to wildflower meadows, cottage borders, and restoration plantings, while its flowers draw bees and other pollinators. Long a feature of traditional herb gardens, it thrives on neglect — poor soil, drought, and full sun are exactly where it shines.

Key Highlights & Benefits

Architectural Height: Dramatic flower spikes create a striking vertical focal point.
Tough & Drought-Tolerant: Thrives in poor, dry, gravelly soil where other plants struggle.
Pollinator-Friendly: Yellow blooms attract bees and beneficial insects.
Self-Seeding: Readily reseeds, naturalizing in wild and cottage-style gardens.
Silvery Foliage: Soft, felt-like rosette leaves add texture even before flowering.

Master Sowing & Growing Guide

1. Soil Preparation & Location

Location: Choose a full-sun spot. Mullein tolerates poor, rocky, dry ground and dislikes rich, damp soil.
Soil: Well-draining is essential. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soil, which causes rot.

2. Sowing Method

Surface Sow: Seeds are tiny and need light to germinate — press onto the surface, do not bury.
When: Direct-sow in spring or fall, or start indoors and transplant. Fall sowing benefits from natural cold exposure.
Germination: Keep the surface lightly moist; expect 10–21 days.

3. Watering & Care

Water gently until established, then water sparingly — mullein prefers dry conditions.
No fertilizer needed; rich soil produces weaker, floppy growth.

4. Biennial Cycle & Self-Seeding

Year 1: a leafy rosette forms. Year 2: the tall flower spike appears and blooms.
Leave some spent spikes to self-seed, or remove them to control spread.

Garden & Landscape Applications

Wildflower Meadows: Adds height and structure among mixed native plantings.
Cottage & Traditional Herb Gardens: A classic vertical accent with historical charm.
Restoration & Naturalized Areas: Tough pioneer plant for poor, disturbed soils.
Pollinator Borders: Yellow spikes support bees through summer.

Common Growing Problems & Solutions

Rosette Rot: Cause: soil too wet or rich. Fix: plant in lean, well-drained soil and water sparingly.
No Flowers the First Year: Cause: mullein is biennial — it flowers in year 2. Fix: be patient; the rosette year is normal.
Spreading Too Freely: Cause: prolific self-seeding. Fix: remove flower spikes before seed sets to limit spread.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many seeds are included?

This listing includes 2 packs × 4,000 Great Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) seeds each — plenty for meadows, borders, and restoration plantings.

Why isn’t my mullein flowering?

Great Mullein is a biennial. It forms a leafy rosette in its first year and produces its tall flower spike in the second year. First-year plants naturally will not bloom.

What kind of soil does mullein need?

Poor to average, dry, well-draining soil in full sun. It actually performs worse in rich or damp soil, which can cause the rosette to rot.

Does mullein come back every year?

As a biennial, an individual plant lives two years, but it self-seeds readily — so a patch often persists year after year unless spent spikes are removed.

Storage & Quality Assurance

Seed Freshness: Packed to maintain viability and germination rates.
Storage Instructions: Store unused seeds in a cool, dry, dark place away from moisture and heat.
Package Includes: 2 seed packets containing 4,000 Great Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) seeds each.

An Earthy, Caffeine-Free Cup

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a familiar plant whose root, flowers, and leaves have long been enjoyed as a simple herbal infusion. This whole-plant blend brews an earthy, subtly sweet cup with roasted undertones — the roasted root in particular is often used as a coffee-style, caffeine-free alternative. It’s an easygoing, low-fuss tea for a steady morning or after-meal ritual, delicious on its own or in blends.

Plant & Origin

Dandelion is a hardy perennial in the daisy (Asteraceae) family, instantly recognizable by its bright yellow flower heads, deeply toothed leaves — the source of the name “lion’s tooth” — and long taproot. Every part is used: the roasted root gives a deep, coffee-like base; the flowers add a mild floral-sweet note; and the leaves contribute a fresh, gently bitter green character. Growing across temperate regions worldwide, dandelion is one of the most familiar and versatile herbs for a homemade cup.

Whole-Plant Blend: Root, flowers, and leaves for a fuller, rounded flavor.
Caffeine-Free: A warm cup any time of day.
Roasted, Earthy Taste: A grounded coffee-style alternative.
Great for Blending: Pairs beautifully with warm spices and other herbs.

How to Brew

Hot Infusion

Measure: Add 1–2 teaspoons (3–5 g) of the dried blend per cup.
Heat Water: Pour about 240 ml near-boiling water (95–100°C).
Steep: 5–10 minutes — longer for a stronger, roastier cup.
Strain & Serve: Strain and enjoy hot; pairs well with honey or lemon.

Cold Brew

Add 2–3 tablespoons of the dried blend per quart (1 liter) of cold water.
Refrigerate 8–12 hours (overnight), then strain and serve over ice.

Culinary Applications & Blend Ideas

Roasted Dandelion + Cinnamon + Ginger: Simmer 1 tsp roasted root with a small cinnamon stick and a few ginger slices for 6–10 minutes; sweeten to taste.
Dandelion Leaf + Mint + Lemon Verbena: Steep 1 tsp each in hot water (90–95°C) 5–8 minutes; lovely hot or iced.
Dandelion Flower + Rosehips + Chamomile: Steep 1 tsp each for 8–10 minutes for a golden, floral-sweet cup.
Coffee-Style Cup: Brew the roasted root strong for a rich, caffeine-free coffee alternative.
Iced Tea: Brew stronger, chill, and serve over ice.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a whole-plant blend of dried dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) root, flowers, and leaves — 100 grams total.

Does it contain caffeine?

No — dandelion is a naturally caffeine-free herbal infusion.

What does it taste like?

Earthy and subtly sweet with roasted undertones and a gentle bitterness. The roasted root makes it a popular coffee-style alternative.

Can I use it as a coffee substitute?

Yes — brew the roasted root strong for a rich, earthy, caffeine-free cup that many enjoy in place of coffee.

How do I brew it?

Steep 1–2 teaspoons per cup in near-boiling water for 5–10 minutes, then strain. Enjoy hot or iced, or cold-brew overnight.

Storage & Quality Assurance

Freshness: Dried whole-plant blend packed to preserve aroma.
Storage Instructions: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place; best within ~12 months.
Package Includes: 1 × 100 g pouch of dried dandelion root, flowers, and leaves.
