Bev, The two plants I have are in the first year of growth, if I use
those leaves will it grow more leaves in the spring and still be
able to send up the stalk? If you don't know I think I will try to
do the 1st year leaves and see if it will come back in the spring.
I am trying to grow several in one spot where I have a bit of sun. I
love the way they look, very ornamental to me. After you pick the leaves how do you dry then and how do you store them?

I I wild harvest it when I see a mature plant with large lower leaves. They say to pick the leaves before the plants flower, but I pick them whenever. I'm probably losing some effectiveness, but it still works.

Thanks Bev! I have a couple of mullein plants right now, When is
a good time to dry it? Yes, I do know what a princess tree is now
that you mention its other name. Do not have any on the property
and do not want to plant any more trees as I barley get enough sun
to grow things now. I live in the woods on the side of a hill. Jeanne tnhillwoman North East TN zone 6 ----- Original Message ----- From:
