Centella Asiatica

[Cheerypeabrain]

Has anyone else tried growing this herb? It's also known as Gotu-Kola and my OH takes the extract in capsule form. I understand that the leaves can be used to make a herbal infusion and would love to try growing it myself. I went onto the RHS website and found a plant supplier but I wanted to raise some from seed...can't find a supplier atm
Anyone else tried it or grown it?

Even Jekka only sells it as a plant CPB! Centella Asiatica

It says the flowers are tiny - I bet it would be a bit of a nightmare trying to sow the seed
