Data sheet
Strong landscaping variety with bushy growth ideal for mass planting or hedges. Blue flowers in summer and drought tolerant once established.
Rose pink flowers in mid summer, great foliage aroma, makes amazing tea which is sweet like licorice. Add spear mint or thyme for cold drinks, add to salad, etc.
Lavandula officianalis. The best variety for the garden and low hedging, living longer than most others providing they get an annual chop. 'Hidecote' is light purple with long flower spikes.
Prostrate pink thyme only 1 cm high; plant as lawn or amongst stones, gravel or pavers for ground cover.
Horseradish, useful perennial for moist soils. Easy to grow and can sprout from roots, so position carefully.
Portugese form of the pink rosemary, more true pink than Majorca pink and less upright, bushier and lower growing.
Semi prostrate medium blue form with cascading habit, useful winter flowering ground cover.
My friend Paulette grew these from seed, and these are cutting raised plants from selected seedlings. Apparently the flowers are edible, I love the perfume and they flower forever with no fuss. Best in border or rock garden, rich pink flowers.
Juniper berry plants for production of berries for flavouring gin and other goodies.Cutting grown female plants.
Alchemilla mollis. Ancient medicinal plant preferring part shade and clay soils, although generally easily grown. Attractive foliage and lime green flowers, winter deciduous.
'Russian Sage'; attractive blue flowers over grey foliage in mid summer onwards. An extremely drought hardy and frost hardy plant that likes well drained soil. Good for hedging and cottage garden with Lavandula 'Hidecote', Iris and blue geraniums.
Tasmannia lanceolata. Cutting grown female plants for berry production, grow in part shade in moisture retentive soil. Will grow into small tree once established.
Attractive cottage plant and popular medicinal plant also. Easily grown in well drained soil, best with added fertiliser.
Best used where fresh mint in needed in tabouleh, salads, sauces etc. Distinctly shaped rounded leaves and delicate fresh taste.
My favourite variety for tea when used fresh, with rich clean flavour. Also dries well. Grow in sheltered garden out of hot afternoon sun.
