Have you tried taking some cuttings from his plant and getting some started that way?. My late brother in law was a whizz at starting cuttings so I never had to try myself. You can probably find a YouTube video on the subject?

Neighbor did, since he's the whiz-bang old guy that can do it.

They died when planted on this property. It grows other stuff great. I get peppers, tobacco, tomatoes, okra, etc.. without a problem.

I've had good luck starting rosemary from cuttings.

I take a cleanly cut stem, strip off the leaves as deeply as I intend to plant, and then treat that end with rooting hormone.

The treated stem is planted in moist sterile medium, and that pot is covered in plastic (don't all the leaves to touch the plastic)to keep the moisture even. Keep in bright light BUT NOT direct sunlight. Check for roots after 3-4 weeks; if the roots have started growing, remove the plastic. After there is vigorous root growth, replant in soil.
