About Isabgol

Isabgol, or Psyllium, is a cool-season medicinal herb grown for its seed husks. It has a short, grass-like growth habit, making it perfectly suited for shallow terrace planters and window boxes. Improved high-yielding varieties are recommended to ensure dense spike formation and prevent seed shattering.
