The flavor of Huacatay can be described as a combination of basil, mint, and citrus. The leaves can be used fresh, dried, in paste form, or frozen. Huacatay stems can be bundled and hung around the house in order to repeal insects. Huacatay is considered a half hardy annual and can grow up to 6 feet tall. The roots of Black Mint can kill some perennial weeds. Handling Time: All orders placed on Monday through Friday before 9:30 AM CST will ship out the same day.
