my garden


So today I planted my first plant at my new place.  Its a Helichrysum petiolare "limelight" aka Licorice plant.  It a beautiful shrub that has multiple medicinal purposes, but mostly for the purpose of respiration.  It also can be used as a pain reliever and as a bug repellent. It is drought tolerant, as well.  So if I am not around and my roommates don't want to take care of the yard, they don't have to.  I think this is going to be a theme for my garden.
