Other uses of Vine Mesquite: An infusion of the leaves is said to be a good wash for making the hair grow more quickly. The dried and powdered stolons can be mixed with soapweed (Yucca species) and used as a tonic hair shampoo. This species is occasionally planted for erosion control.
Propagation of the herb: Seed - sow spring in a greenhouse and only just cover the seed. Germination should take place within a week. Prick out the seedlings into trays or individual pots and plant them out after the last expected frosts. Division in spring. Very easy, larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. We have found that it is better to pot up the smaller divisions and grow them on in light shade in a cold frame until they are well established before planting them out in late spring or early summer.
