Lippia dulcis is a perennial species native to southern Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and the Caribbean.

Used for centuries in its places of origin as a natural sweetener and healing plant, Aztec sugar is characterized by its bushy growth with a hanging habit and profuse white flowering.

Try the leaves and flowers of the plant as a sugar substitute, especially in addition to drinks, sweets, fruit salads and on ice cream.

Its little flowers will be a delicious decoration for your dishes!

*At the same time as the autumn/winter period, the plant may appear sparse or devoid of vegetation.
