boiled leaves produce a slightly sweet and reasonably
refreshing tea and it does make a nice base for a summer
'iced tea' when combined with lycium berry, Stevia leaves
and tonic water.

although we have not done so.
30+ seeds $3.50

 Pre-soak the seed for 24 hours in
warm water before planting into seed raising mix. It will
happily ramble over some unsightly aspect in the yard or
will climb nicely over a pre- organised trellis or
arch. |
