You can grow Horehound and use it in your own soothing teas, or if you are adventerous, in your own homemade candy.
Did you eat horehound candy when you were a child? You may not have known it, but your parents were actually giving you "medicine"! Candy made from the herb Horehound (Marrubium Vulgare) was often given as a cough drop to sooth deep chest coughs.
This woody perennial has hairy stems covered with 2-inch, toothed, downy, gray-green leaves. Small, off-white hairy flowers are born in summer on the 8-24 inch tall and wide plant.
Grow horehound in any well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil in full sun. Keep cutting back for new flushes of growth and extended harvests.

Zones: 4 - 8
Height: 18 - 24 inches
