| Sweet basil A tender annual that grows about 40-60cm high. It prefers well-drained soil in a sunny position. Protect your sweet basil against cold winds and frost. Space the plants about 30cm apart and pinch out the growing tips and flower heads to encourage a bushy habit. |
| Lavender Munstead Both flowers and leaves of this plant are aromatic. It is a wonderful choice for butterfly, herb or rock gardens. Attractive planted with yarrows or sedums, or used as a low hedge. Dried flowers and leaves are valued for use in potpourri, sachets or everlasting arrangements. Height is 12-24 inches. |
| Mint and Mint Chocolate Part sun/part shade although the plant is very tolerable. Keep soil wet but not soggy, if in a garden mulch will help. Because mint is such a strong-growing plant, it can easily kill nearby plants. The solution when planting outside is to sink a bottomless container, such as an old bucket, in the ground and plant the mint in this area. Remove the flowers by hand as soon as they appear because if left, they will reduce the amount of leaves. Twice yearly feeding of bonemeal will keep the plant very happy. |
| Rosemary Barbeque Fast growing upright variety. Small blue flowers. Height of plant is 3-4 feet, spread is 18-24 inches |
| Sage Golden Once established, sage will grow almost anywhere as long as it is in full sun for a good part of the day. The best soil is a well-dug medium one, with a handful or two of bonemeal worked in twice during the summer. What sage does not like is soil that is moist all the time - it is a native of Mediterranean areas. |
