It is a shrubby plant with yellow flowers which when soaked in olive oil, it imparts a bright red color to the oil. The plant is primarily used today as a solution to overcome depression and is an alternative to non-herbal medicines such as Zyban or Welbutrin. To plant indoors, tamp seeds into soilless peat-type mix, covering barely. Stratify seeds by pre-chilling for faster germination. An idea would be to sow seeds, moisten, cover and place in refrigerator for about 5 days.
