The leaves are pebble textured and need to be trimmed to keep the
plant healthy or the plant can grow leggy. As with sage and oregano start with young potted plants each fall.
Children with separation anxiety show it by crying, manifesting
clinginess, shyness, silence, and unwillingness to interact with
other people, even those to whom he is already familiar with.
