Not available right now. This one cannot be started on demand — it is either a long grow or tied to a planting season, so we sell it only when we have plants ready. Email us and we will tell you when the next batch is ready.

Water it through the olla. That is the only instruction.
A buried terracotta olla releases water at exactly the rate the soil draws it, over a base of well-rotted wood that holds moisture through a hot week. You cannot overwater it and it will not dry out on you. The roots reach the olla before the plant leaves us, so it works from the day it arrives.
Details
Six months of growing already done, so you can pick a sprig the week it arrives rather than waiting a season. That head start is why it costs more than the annuals.
Slow but permanent. It outlives everything else in the catalogue, and the filled 12 x 18 inch bag is sized so it will not need moving for two or three years — after which it wants a larger container or open ground.
Pinch the growing tips through the first year to force it bushy; left alone it grows into a single leggy stem.
Yellowing leaves almost always mean iron deficiency rather than overwatering. A pinch of ferrous sulphate in water once a month fixes it.
