# Meet Reo, my Sideritis Scardica baby. She's still recovering from…

_Posted by SunStarBotanist on 2026-03-10_

Meet Reo, my Sideritis Scardica baby. She's still recovering from coming in the mail, sitting in the full sun of mom's porch. I got her from a reputable nursery and I'm hoping to cultivate her well so I can harvest her instead of buying dried leaves. This is both for money reasons and because I trust the nursery (which I know, and know how they grow and propagate their plants) more than tea sellers to be ethically sourced. I want to help this plant and grow my own for sustainability, as it is one of my favorites and is endangered in the wild.

Note: Reo is from a nursery in Florida, and was grown from other Scardica plants of the same nursery. She is completely legal to grow and ethically grown and sourced from a nursery in Winter Haven. And yes, she is still pretty wilted and leggy, but I am taking care of her and am currently nursing her back to health. Please wish her and I some luck! I am very much hoping for success because it would put my mind at ease for multiple reasons.
