Thanks Josephine for the link. It was very interesting. It didn't say anything about being a coleus, don't know where I got that, I must have been mistaken. I didn't know about all the medicinal qualities. Now I love it even more. I first intend to try it as a tea and a sweetener.

It is much prettier than the article described. Similar to purple basil but easier to grow and the butterflies love it. Beautiful mixed with red or yellow summer bloomers.
