The other hippie weed. People either love or hate the smell of this easy to grow and care for aromatic plant. The leaves are excellent for sachets and potpourri; the oil is used in India ink, perfumes, soaps, incense, air fresheners and insect repellants. My favorite factoid from Wikipedia - the Mattel toy company used Patchouli oil in the plastic for the action figure Stinkor from the Masters of the Universe line of toys. Unlike most aromatic oils it improves with age. Antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antidepressant and a host of other medicinal properties. Good house plant - keep moist and warm - freezing will kill it. Hundreds of small light pink flowers over the winter.
