One of my top three weeds, in terms of pestilence and tenaciousness. It forms amazing root networks, and spreads quite quickly by its traveling roots. The foliage is very distinctively scented. I don't think I've managed to eradicate it from any of the places where it has gained a foothold, and believe me, I've tried.

| kat | May 18, 2012 | this is a very good medicinal plant. My mom used to mix it with her coffee or tea. :)
I guess I'm all set for coffee supplements for years to come – I pull it out by the bushels every year. |
| Ted K | Nov 19, 2012 | This is a nice weed, I have a few friends told me that have their cancer cure by eating it's juice daily for couple of month. |
