Dogbane Plant - Coleus Canina, Permaculture plant / great companion plant.

Description:
Dogbane is a low-growing perennial herb from the mint family, forming a small clumping plant that grows to around 15 cm high, reaching up to 30 cm when the flower stalks appear. It is a compact and useful herb for garden borders, herb gardens, and companion planting systems.

This hardy plant is valued for its strong aroma and traditional use as an insect-repelling herb, making it a useful addition to vegetable gardens, orchards, and food forests.

Growing Conditions:
Dogbane prefers full sun to partial shade. In very hot climates, some afternoon shade can help the plant thrive. When grown in excessive shade the plant may become leggy, as the stems stretch toward the light.

This herb is easy to grow and works well in garden beds, pots, or herb gardens.

Other Uses:

• Traditionally recommended as a natural insect repellent

• Aromatic herb useful in companion planting systems

Companion Planting:
Dogbane is often grown as a general companion plant for fruiting trees and vegetables, helping support biodiversity in the garden.
