A California native prized for so many more reasons than one — so easy that it's perfect for beginners, but none should miss out on all these benefits:
-exceptionally hardy and a great soil improver
-native to coastal, mountain, and other California ranges
-outstanding herbal benefits (tea, poultice, and more) and purportedly even edible although quite bitter. *See legal disclaimer below.
-can flower nearly year-round
-sun-loving yet moderately shade-tolerant as well
-attracts beneficial insects in droves (pollinators and predators)

Legal Disclaimer: Customer is SOLELY responsible for knowing how and when to safely (and effectively) consume food from any purportedly edible plants, including but not limited to: a) knowing which parts of the plant are edible, when they are edible, how to harvest them, and how to prepare them for eating palatably and comfortably (*chewability*); b) knowing look-alike plants; c) toxicity concerns; and d) allergy concerns. Customer should be especially careful preparing home-grown edibles for children and for guests and should first gain familiarity feeding themselves.
