Patchouli

-I purchased a 8" potted patchouli plant for my husband at the local farmer's market today. The person at the stand was not helpful as far as tips on caring for the plant, watering/lite etc. I have searched all my gardening books & the internet for info but all that is available is info on patchouli oils. Can anyone out there help me???? I don't know much about patchouli, but I do know that it is a tender perennial, it won't withstand your winters so you will have to bring it inside before frost. It likes full sun and warm temps. Other than that, I don't know much else.-

thanks, but I guess I forgot the mention that I have it in my home, on a windowsill above the sink facing north. I transplanted it, it was root bound, seems to be doing better. I placed it in a dish with stones for humidity. If anyone else out there has any info it would definitely be appreciated. Thanks again.... :)
