Title: Giant Gotu Kola strain
Post by: nullzero on July 15, 2021, 12:59:23 AM
I have grown other strains of Gotu Kola in the past this one however is a giant leaf size comparing the others. I have to get around to multiplying it.

Wow that's huge!
Gotta have a look for that one, like the juice.
What's the taste like compared to a small leafed veriety?

It is very good my friend made some juice out of it today and I tried it. The leaves are very good, sweet with a slight parsley chlorophyll flavor.

Woho!
Sounds great!
So you think this is the Hydrocotle asiatica or Centella asiatica, gotu kola?
Can't find any plants of this one in AU, maybe someone have seeds. The search continues..

Centella asiatica I am pretty sure, its a Sri Lankan strain. Size gets about 6 inches in diameter in part shade.
