In the column Plants, Herbs and Roots For Prosperity, I explain
in detail how to practically use a plant material to attract
things to you, so refer to that if you have never used plant
matter in magic before. In brief, the main methods of using
plant material to draw love are: carrying the substance on your
person in a locket or a sachet, boiling the herb and sprinkling
the residual water around your residence, putting a sprig of it
