I can't take all this pressure: being a medicinal herb superstar, a native plant poster child and holding down my day job of feeding bees, butterflies and birds! It's just too much for one plant to handle! At least my cousins, E. angustifolia and E. pallida, have tap roots that are better suited to medicine making than mine.
