Does anyone have experience growing these herbs in Central florida?
Lemon catnip
Japanese catnip
Citronella (the grass, not the scented geranium)
Jerusalem sage (Phlomis frucitosa)
Stevia
Kava Kava
Roman chamomile
Catmint
Curry Flower
Any help or hints with these would be appreciated!

Need help with growing Unusual and common herbs in Florida
Hi I live in Kissimmee and have experience in those herbs.
I always suggest people call the local extension agent in their county Yours is Orange County and they are great. Call Ms. Dena Wild with the one in Orange county she will help you a lot. She is also president of the Herb Society for Central Fl.
Also send an email to herbalthymes@aol.com which is the local herb society email and they will help you also. Some live in your area. They meet at Leu Gardens on the first Monday of every month at 7 pm
Stevia is a member fo the ragweed family so do not grow it if you are allergic to ragweed. BEV
I grow stevia, but have zero experience with anything else on the list. I find ignoring the plants does them the most justice. Occasionally I'll pinch back to make the plant bushier, but it just keeps going and going with very little attention.
