Default Rooibos

I doubt it, unless India has an exact growing condition for rooibos as
in Cederberg. When I visited the botanical gardens in Capetown, we
were lucky 2 have the director with us & I asked if he could point out
a rooibos plant 2 us at the garden. His reply was that there wasn't,
as the plant could not grow anywhere else except in Cederberg
mountains. Attempts were made 2 cultivate the plant in Capetown &
elsewhere, but they all failed.

It would be great if India could cultivate rooibos too...

All the best!
