The plant yields about 0.2% essential oil. This is a good larvicide and a feeble insecticide[240].
The dried leaves and flowers are used as an incense[272].
Cultivation & Habitat
Seed – surface sow spring in a greenhouse. Do not allow the compost to dry out. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in early summer.
The seed can also be sown in situ in late spring.
Easily grown in a well-drained circumneutral or slightly alkaline loamy soil, preferring a sunny position[1, 200].
Plants are annuals or short-lived perennials[200]. Plants are longer lived, more hardy and more aromatic when they are grown in a poor dry soil[245].
Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer[233].
E. Asia – China, Japan, India.
