According to UBC Botany Photo of the Day–“Its strong flavour is described as akin to fresh cilantro with overtones of lemon and anise.”

Kalanchoe pumila and a Succulent Start
I was at the neighborhood Farm Supply picking up a few plants for the gardens when I found this bit of a succulent.
It was on the shelf next to the six pack of Kalanchoe pumila I selected. I took it with me when I checked out. Before I finished asking if I could have it, the person working in the garden center said yes.

Placed five of Kalanchoe pumila in the garden.
I liked the plant so much, I potted one up to enjoy in the house.
