Dementia Plant – Brahmi – Waterhyssop – Bacopa monnieri

Dementia Plant – Brahmi – Waterhyssop – Bacopa monnieri is an evergreen beautiful shade-loving ground cover with small leaves, white flowers and lots of medicinal properties. The leaves and flowers can be eaten raw, add to salads, smoothies, on sandwiches or dehydrated and ground to powder to use in cooking. This shade and water-loving herb has a reputation for improving memory and mental function whilst also working to relieve anxiety and depression.

Planting and growing tips:

1. Give it a good drink and place it in a half-shade position out of the wind.
2. Leave it in the original pot for a few days until it recovers from the journey.
3. Re-pot or plant into a larger pot or to the ground at the latest when the roots start to come out of the bottom holes.
4. Watering straight after planting is essential! From then on, regular watering until the plant establishes is highly recommended.
5. It will grow in nearly all sorts of soil and on an edge of a pond or in a water bowl. All our edibles grow happily and quickly in slightly raised garden beds.
