I've lost my plant after tens years of growing it.No idea what happened.I'm looking for the perennial shrub one that has the fragrant long type leaf.Let me know what you want,not sure my plant list is up to date..Debbie

The only difference i see is in the leaf shape.I think that the leaves of the nepetafolia are more attractive than those of the leonurus.I also suspect that the person who sent you the seeds didn't know there was more than one kind of Leonotis and thought they were sending you what you wanted.I didn't realize there was more than one kind until I read your post.If I were you I would be happy that you have some leonotis plants and use them the same way you were going to use the leonurus.The flowers will look the same and atract the same pollinators as the other one.It's still not too late to get leonurus seeds started.Happy gardenning!

Hi , I collected seed from leonotis nepetifolia(lion's ear) this year. I got it in a trade last year as lion's tail but it is actually Lion's ear. If you are interested contact me. I would be willing to trade for some daylily seeds if you have some . Signet

njoynit I have some African Lion's Tail seed. i don't know if it is the annual or perennial variety. You can check out my exchange list if you want penny
