Henna (Lawsonia inermis), known as Mehndi, is a hardy, drought-tolerant shrub famed for the natural reddish-orange dye obtained from its leaves, used for body art and hair colouring. It bears small, fragrant cream-to-pink flowers and dense, glossy green foliage on spiny branches. Highly adaptable, it thrives in hot, dry regions and poor soils, making it perfect for low-maintenance hedges, screens and boundary plantings across India. Beyond its cultural and cosmetic value, the sweetly scented blooms attract pollinators. Tough, long-lived and easy to grow, henna is both an ornamental and an economically valuable crop shrub.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Henna?
Water young plants regularly to establish, then very sparingly. Mature henna is drought-tolerant and needs little watering.
How much sunlight does Henna need?
It needs full, direct sun all day; it thrives in heat and produces the best leaves for dye in strong sunlight.
Is Henna safe for pets?
The plant is not meant to be eaten by pets. While the leaf dye is safe on skin, discourage pets from chewing it.
Does it need repotting?
It is best in the ground; container plants can be repotted every 2-3 years into well-drained soil and a larger pot.
How do I propagate Henna?
Propagate from seeds or semi-hardwood stem cuttings during the warm season; cuttings root reliably in well-drained mix.
Why are the leaves dropping?
Henna may shed leaves in cold or very dry winters; this is natural and new growth returns with warmth and moisture.
When does Henna flower?
It bears fragrant cream-to-pink flowers mainly through summer and the monsoon months in Indian conditions.
Can Henna be grown in pots?
Yes, it grows well in large pots in full sun, though ground planting gives bigger, bushier, more productive plants.
Is Henna toxic?
The leaves are safe for use as skin and hair dye and are not eaten; the plant is not considered dangerously toxic.
What fertilizer should Henna need?
It needs little feeding; add compost or manure once or twice a year to keep foliage dense and dye-rich.
