love it! I had a horehound bush that went like gangbusters for a couple of years (the bees LOVED it) and then died off. Is this normal? Did something go wrong, or do they just not last forever? I still have some dried, I may have to try this!
Stay tuned for horehound lozenges! Great tasting. As far as longevity of the plant I'll ask Laura...but I doubt that they go one forever. Glad you liked it!
@@Musee.de.Venoge It was such a prolific plant for awhile there. They are really fun to to grow the bees really love them. I tried making lozenges once and got as far as producing a syrup, which wasn't the idea! I'll be happy to see yours!
It should not suddenly die. You can always root cuttings for new, fresh plants. I just grew 4 horehound plants from seed this spring. They are really taking off in this warm weather.
Yes, they were originally a medicinal plant that escaped from early settlers gardens and move west with them. Hence native Americans supposedly referred to it as " White man's footprint". Many weeds we know today were originally brought here as medicinal or food... ex: dandelion
Fascinating, ladies, as always. Thank you.

I love it! Were plantain leaves commonplace at the time?
Oh yes...and common today. They apparently have many medicinal uses.
