Live Gotu Kola Herb Plant
Ships in 100% Biodegradable 4" Coconut Fiber Planter

Gotu Kola is a creeping, mounding perennial herb that grows beautifully as a groundcover or as a hanging plant. Other common names are Indian Pennywort or Spadeleaf and it is native to wetland areas of China, Japan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and South Africa. 

Gotu Kola grows wild in wetland areas and is considered a tropical plant despite hardiness to Zone 7.  It loves moist, fertile soil and is suitable for water gardens.

Gotu Kola contains many active biological compounds and is popular in herbal medicine and dietary supplements.  Extracts of Gotu Kola are purportedly used to aid in wound healing, lower high blood pressure, and improve cognitive function (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center). 

Gotu Kola is considered an adaptogenic herb.  Adaptogens are a unique group of herbal ingredients used to improve the health of your adrenal system, the system that's in charge of managing your body's hormonal response to stress (Be Well).

    Gotu Kola as a Nootropic

    Neurogenesis. Gotu kola stimulates the growth of brain cells. It encourages dendrite branching which boosts brain plasticity and communication between neurons.

    Neuroprotection. Gotu kola protects your brain from toxins and oxidative stress. Studies show it helps protect against heavy metals and food additives which cause brain fog, mood swings and migraines. And it reduces oxidative stress by reducing free radicalsin brain cells.

    Neurotransmitters. Gotu kola helps prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine. Enhancing mood, cognition, memory and learning. And preventing degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s.

    More resistant to greening!  The Sugar Belle variety was developed by scientists at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Citrus Research and Education Center to have high levels of resistance to Alternaria, which has been a serious problem on many other fresh mandarin varieties in Florida, so fungicide applications can be minimized.

    The unique flavor and aroma characteristics, along with the good balance of intense sweetness well balanced with typical citrus tartness, have great appeal to consumers; this has been confirmed by consumer taste panels that were conducted by a commercial polling company in three different US markets. An additional bonus for health-minded consumers is considerably higher levels of vitamin C, compared with many other fresh citrus varieties.  In head to head comparisons with several other commercial varieties, Sugar Belle® ‘LB8-9’ was selected as the best fruit in overall appearance, flavor, peel and flesh color, and size.  Sugar Belle® ‘LB8-9’ has excellent potential as a new fresh fruit variety to meet the increasing demands for improved fruit quality coming from consumers.
