An unrelated tropical plant from Africa with strong oregano flavor, the leaves of variegated Cuban oregano are pretty enough to grow alongside flowers, and the plants thrive in humid heat. Cuban oregano readily grows through hot summers, and the plants produce more leaves each time leaf tips are harvested.


Tempting Tropicals In Central Florida, Anderson recom- mends culantro, aka Mexican corian- der, as a summer herb different from the better-known cilantro. “Culantro equals the flavor of cilantro, but with no bitter or medicinal aftertaste.” A great long- term performer, it continues producing flavorful new leaves even after the plant starts blooming.


Anderson also suggests growing


West Indian lemongrass for its fragrant leaves and thick stalks. A vigorous, clump-forming grass, lemongrass can be grown in containers anywhere or served as an edible ornamental in landscapes where summers are hot. “Lemongrass en- joys a sunny and moist environment, so it benefits from being near an air condi- tioner drain or downspout,” she advises.


Growing Tips Herbs always need watering in hot weather, and pouring from a watering can at the base is far better than bathing the leaves with a hose. Should containers become so dry that they refuse to take up water, place them in a broad dish or pail filled with three inches of water for 30 minutes to rehydrate the roots. Always grow herbs in pots with large drainage holes, so excess water can drain quickly. Make a habit of pinching off a


few herbal leaves, crushing them between the fingers and inhaling their fresh aromas. For maximum benefit, repeat daily.
