Witchcraft Springs Frying Pan In the world of folklore and myth, there are many stories and superstitions involving witches and their magical abilities. One of the more peculiar tales involves a witch who could make a frying pan magically spring to life. Legend has it that this particular witch was known for her expert cooking skills and her ability to brew potions that could heal the sick and grant wishes. However, her most famous talent was her ability to bring inanimate objects to life. One day, while cooking a stew in her trusty frying pan, the witch accidentally dropped a secret ingredient into the pot. Unbeknownst to her, this ingredient had magical properties and caused a mysterious reaction.
Trichostema midnight magic
Plant in full to part sun in a moderately well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally to infrequently. Needs some protection from a hard frost but seems to be hardy to around 25� F. Can be used in an arrangement (best outdoors as foliage scent is strong) and the flowers are attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators while the plant itself is not browsed by deer or rabbits.
The genus Trichostema based on the type species Trichostema dichotomum from Virginia, was published in Linnaeus� Corollarium Genera Plantarum in 1737 with the name credited to the Dutch botanist Johan Frederik Gronovius. The name for the genus is from the Latin words 'trichos' meaning "hair" and 'stema' meaning "stamens" in reference to its long hair-like stamens.
This attractive hybrid cross was created by Patrick Worley at the amazing but now closed Suncrest Nurseries in Watsonville. The seed parent was the finicky but beautiful California native Wooly Blue Curls, Trichostema lanatum that we also grow, crossed with the rose color flowered Mexican species Trichostema purpusii, a plant we grew from 2001 to 2006 that is thought to be extinct in the wild. This hybrid lacks the silvery hairs on the flower buds of Trichostema lanatum (which gives it the name "Wooly" Blue Curls) and it is a bit more purplish, but what it gains is a more compact habit, a much better garden tolerance and longevity that is rarely seen with Wooly Blue Curls. This plant is sometimes listed with the name trademarked, but there is no California or US trademark listed in the official databases.

This shrub is a member of the Mint family. Its narrow, bright green leaves have a pleasant, minty fragrance. It can quickly grow to an impressive size in the first year, although as a fire-following plant, it does have a short lifespan (around 4 to 5 years).
In the garden, this plant requires specific growing conditions to do well. A young Woolly Bluecurls plant needs regular watering after planting. Once it's established, however, overwatering ? even occasional summer water ? can damage or kill them. Plant in full or part sun in light, well-draining soil. It does well in rocky areas and does not like mulch. Although short-lived, the showy blooms make this plant a stunning addition to a low-water pollinator garden.

Reviews for "Witchcraft and Nature: The Earth-Based Spirituality of Frying Pan Springs"
1. James - ★☆☆☆☆
I was really disappointed with the Witchcraft Springs frying pan. The first time I used it, the handle felt loose and wobbly. The non-stick coating also started to peel off after just a few uses, which is unacceptable for a pan at this price point. I tried to reach out to customer service, but they were unresponsive and didn't provide any assistance. Overall, I would not recommend this frying pan.
2. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆
I had high hopes for the Witchcraft Springs frying pan, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The pan warped after just a few uses, causing the oil to pool at one end and resulting in uneven cooking. The handle also gets extremely hot while cooking, making it difficult to hold or move the pan. I was really disappointed with the quality and durability of this frying pan.
3. Alex - ★★☆☆☆
I purchased the Witchcraft Springs frying pan because of its advertised non-stick feature, but it failed to deliver. Despite using oil and cooking on low heat, everything I tried to cook ended up sticking to the pan. I had to scrub it vigorously after each use, which not only made cooking a hassle but also ruined the non-stick coating over time. I won't be buying this frying pan again.
4. Emma - ★★☆☆☆
I was initially attracted to the Witchcraft Springs frying pan because of its sleek design and claims of even heat distribution. However, I found that the heat was not evenly distributed, resulting in some parts of my food being overcooked while others remained undercooked. The handle also became loose after only a few months of use, which made it unsafe and inconvenient to use. I regret purchasing this frying pan and would recommend looking for a different brand.
