This herb self seeds easily and new plants germinate every spring. Unfortunately I don't have any epazote seeds saved that I can share with you right now, but you can find them listed at <a href="http://www.nicholsgardennursery.com">Nichols Garden Nursery</a>.

Even if you garden in a cold weather region with a short growing season, epazote is a very fast growing herb and much hardier than herbs such as basil and cilantro. Just plant the epazote seeds in the spring after the weather warms and it will grow like a weed with little care required. It will also self seed and return each season once it has become established in the garden. Hi Margot, I’m sure that you can grow epazote during your spring-summer growing seasons.

It's in the Pacific Northwest. Does anyone know if epazote can be grown as far north as Victoria, BC, Canada? It’s in the Pacific Northwest.

Epazote will also naturalize in your garden if you allow it to set seeds. I like to plant it in a bed that contains perennial herb or vegetable plants. The volunteers sprout every year and aren't disturbed by cultivation if you grow your Epazote in a perennial bed. The volunteers are easy to control though so you can allow this herb to grow in any part of the garden without worry over it becoming a troublesome weed.

We have a great herb festival every year and you can always find all kinds of herbs. My only problem is that I don't know where to plant my epazote plant. Is it a good companion plant for anything?

Those cheese and zucchini flower quesadillas sure sound delicious! I’ve never seen Epazote plants for sale, but you can obtain seeds from a few specialty herb seed suppliers. I believe my seed was purchased from Nichols Garden Nursery. Better yet, if you know someone that’s growing it, the plant produces a ton of seed that they could share. In fact, I’d bet that you could find someone who is willing to trade all the Epazote seeds you could grow, in exchange for your quesadilla recipe (hint, hint)! Seriously, send me an email and I'll see if I can locate a few seeds for you. Hi Dinorah. Those cheese and zucchini flower quesadillas sure sound delicious!
