There are just a few of these plants in 8cm pots.
This attractive plant grows into a small bush about 1 m tall eventually. Its leaves have a tarragon scent and are a glossy green. It is traditionally used for making tea and also for seasoning, but the small bright yellow flowers which are produced abundantly can also be used as a fragrant cut flower, and used for dye. It attracts birds and butterflies.
