    I am a new member and wish to know if anyone has heard of a teabag plant ??!! I was given a cutting which has large boat shaped pods on it (pinky green, turning papery teabag like as they dry). Does anyone know it's real name and whether you can grow straight from the pod? many thanks

    It grows very easily from seed, best sown in the spring.
