Mother of Herbs or Fijian Herb Plant Still flowering in the middle of Autumn (Coleus amboinicus, synonym Plectranthus amboinicus), is a semi-succulent perennial plant with a strong oregano-like flavour and odour. It is native to parts of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and India, although it is widely used, elsewhere in the tropics, as a spice and ornamental plant. Common include Indian borage, country borage, French thyme, Indian mint, Mexican mint, Cuban oregano, soup mint, Spanish thyme. Likes a bit of shade and moisture but will also happily grow in full sun either in a pot or in the ground. Strikes really easily like most mint relatives. Use as a herb or also brews a nice herbal tea. #MotherOfHerbs #FijianHerbPlant #ColeusAmboinicus #PlectranthusAmboinicus #flower #abcmygarden #oregano #perennial #herb #HerbalTea #easygrow #waterwise #africa #india (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq7aGiVvw3I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
