Welcome to This Cultured Life - Lets Get Healthy



This listing is for 2 x Houttuynia cordata, Fish Mint Plant
Approx 10-15cm

Sent bare-rooted.



AKA fish mint, fish leaf, lizard tail, heartleaf, fishwort.


  • Attractive edible herb with lush heart shaped leaves and pretty white flowers.
  • Great to use in stir fries or curries. Perfect for some Japanese or Vietnamese dishes. It has a distinctive fresh fish smell and taste, not really minty.
  • Good as a permaculture perennial due to the low maintenance and abundant vitamin/mineral production.
  • Medicinal herb
  • All of our plant products are grown organically in Queensland - no chemicals at all.




Growing:

Definitely should be grown in pots or bathtubs etc. as it can easily spread in the right conditions.

Loves moist shady positions - can grow half submerged in water or in damp/boggy area.

I have them in a couple of pots which sit in an old bathtub and wheelbarrow, both used for growing Taro.
