(Mormon tea grows in Utah and was made into a beverage by the early settlers.) Mormons do tend to avoid stimulants in any case... My sister always says that if you can just get a rosemary plant through its first winter, it seems to catch on from there. Maybe this new one of yours will be THE rosemary...Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-66427847451406110542012-04-21T06:08:15.099-06:002012-04-21T06:08:15.099-06:00I hadn't come across Mormon Green Tea before. ...I hadn't come across Mormon Green Tea before.

It's used heavily as a landscaping shrub in my neighborhood, and in the hell-strips next to the sidewalks it suffers all kinds of abuse and just keeps growing.
