The plant comes well-established in a compact 4-inch nursery pot, ready to transfer into a sunny kitchen garden, patio container, or raised bed.

How to Care & Grow
1. Sunlight: Position in full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours of direct daily sunlight) for optimum leaf development and robust essential oils.
2. Soil & Planting: Thrives in rich, fertile, and **well-draining soils** (ideal pH 6.0–7.0). Excellent for pots or garden plots.
3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water deeply whenever the top layer feels dry.
4. Climate & Maintenance: Adaptable to warm temperate and tropical climates. Pinch off flower buds as they form to keep the foliage sweet and encourage a bushier plant.
