Limited Release! Ready to Harvest Now! Rare Aromatic Herb 

Damiana (Turnera diffusa) is a small, aromatic shrub native to the dry, sunny regions of Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America—where it has been used for centuries as a traditional herbal tonic, aphrodisiac, and mood enhancer. With its soft, olive-green leaves, fragrant yellow flowers, and delicate aroma reminiscent of chamomile and citrus, Damiana is as beautiful as it is legendary. It’s prized for its uplifting, balancing properties and its ability to promote focus, relaxation, and creative energy. A rare and rewarding herb to grow, Damiana brings an ancient healing tradition right into your home garden or apothecary.

Cultural & Herbal Significance

Damiana has a long, storied history in the traditional medicine of Indigenous peoples of Mexico and the Yucatán Peninsula. It was used in ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures as a restorative herb and love tonic, valued for enhancing vitality and emotional balance. Today, it remains one of the most celebrated herbal allies for supporting mood, libido, and nervous system health, often brewed as tea, blended into tinctures, or used in herbal smoking blends. The leaves produce a naturally sweet, aromatic tea with hints of spice, mint, and honey—deeply grounding yet gently stimulating

    Healthy plant

    Healthy plant, planted in zone 9b, Jacksonville, FL; a very wet and humid place compared to Damiana's usual preferred Texas zone 9. So, I planted it along with half the drip irrigation than I usually use (one drip line, instead of two) and also luckily have sandy soil. I also tipped some of the branches that were touching the ground, to elevated the foliage.

    Excellent!

    The plant came looking great! I was a bit anxious because the shipping got delayed in route (not the fault of SowExotic!) but the plant was packed so well and has such healthy roots and leaves- it looked like it had just left the nursery- rather than being in a box for several days. Very happy with SowExotic! Will order again!
