    Hi!
    I was wondering what are the best medicinal plants that can be grown in greenhouses.
    When i say best, i mean plants that are relatively easy to grow and have a great market request.
    Thanks!

    The ones that come immediately to mind are Valerian, St. John's Wort (Hypericum) and Echinacea. However, if you're dedicated to a true hothouse, you should also look at Uncaria tomentosa (cat's claw), Passionflowers, and the other tropical medicinals.

    Thanks so much for the replies.
    Bluewing, i've checked that page, but i'm interested in those that can be easily grown in greenhouses, especially in artificial soil.
