Greek Mountain Tea is an attractive perennial herb. It originates from the mountainous regions of Greece and surrounding areas and grows well in the UK in the right conditions. Plants have silver-grey woolly leaves and upright spikes of whorled yellow aromatic flowers in the summer, typically from June to August.
These are good garden plants with a long history of medicinal use as a herbal tea. The fresh flowers with stems and leaves can be cut in early summer and dried and roughly chopped for brewing tea.
Greek Mountain Tea plants need to be grown in a sunny position in well drained poorer soil. The plants are not suited to waterlogged conditions. They grow well in containers.
