I’m in zone 9b and have grown the following: mint, rosemary, Chickweed, cleavers, calendula, lemon balm, thyme, oregano, elderberry, moringa, comfrey, plantain, valerian, lobelia, hibiscus, mulberry, lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, chicory, English ivy, non-dormant alfalfa, Chaya, katuk, wild violet.
There are probably more I’ve forgotten. And there are lots of food plants that I grow or that will grow here which have medicinal uses I’m just unaware of. Sometimes I enter “__________ medicinal uses” in a search engine, filling the blank with the name of some random plant I’m growing for food, and find all manner of things people use it for medicinally. Kinda fun.
I have a lot more things I’d like to try here and haven’t yet, and some that were supposed to grow well here and crashed and burned for me (could easily have been gardener error; I’m not awesome at babying seedlings)...
