Hi. I bought a plant last year at the herb festival. I haven't seen seed
for it or plants anywhere else, ever.

It grew as an annual. This year, all the plants I've seen have had no
scent! The plant I bought last year had a wonderful, really powerful scent.

So, does anybody know anything about this herb? Where to buy seeds? What
varieties are good? Does weather (it's been cold & rainy here) have an
effect on the strength of the scent?

Type in patchouli seeds and you'll get plenty of hits.

Yikes, this post almost instigated a flashback....

I've searched for 20 minutes or longer and can't find seed...anyone?

bigdipperfarm.com has a listing, 'though it seems to be a plant, not
seeds.

Ha ha, I thought the same thing. I'm getting old...

I never thought of growing it and I'm not too sure I'd want to!

and if you followed it you'd have found what I did, leaf material and
oil, but NO seed. Thanks for the effort....
