Description
The Ajwain Plant (also known as Indian Borage or Patharchur) is a hardy, aromatic herb that’s as useful as it is ornamental. Grown in a nursery bag, this plant is well-rooted and ready to thrive in your kitchen garden, balcony, or terrace space. Its thick, fleshy green leaves are packed with essential oils that give off a distinct, minty-ajwain fragrance when crushed.
Ajwain is loved for both its culinary and medicinal uses. A single leaf can flavour your pakoras, chutneys, or kadhas. It’s also a natural remedy for cold, cough, and digestive issues, making it a must-have for any Indian household. Easy to grow, it thrives in pots, raised beds, or even repurposed containers with well-drained soil and good sunlight.
The plant stays compact, responds well to pruning, and is ideal for beginners who want a functional herb garden with minimal upkeep.
