Tanacetum balsamita (Costmary)

Perennial plant with oval, slightly serrated leaves and clusters of tiny yellow button-like flowers, similar to daisies. Normally the flowers reach a height of about 80 cm. It would be perfect to plant on the back of a vegetable garden or border due to its height. The plant has a delicate balsamic scent, with the leaves having a light mint and lemon flavor. Particularly rustic and easy to grow, it tolerates dry summers and harsh winters. You can add the sweet-tasting leaves to soups and salads or even as a topping for cold drinks. Even vegetables, stewed gliti and in particular red meats, marry well with the slightly bitter and aromatic flavor of the coasts of the leaves. The leaves were once used to create before hops became more popular. It is best to harvest the leaves before they plant them to ensure the best flavor. You can also dry the leaves to make your own herbal tea, with delicate mint flavors.The leaves leave their flavor and flavor once dried. This makes them perfect for potpourris or for drying and storing leaves for use all year round.
