It’s not a question of whether to grow lavender in your herb garden, it’s which ones? Hidcote is an English lavender (rather than French) and is the most widely grown variety in the UK, with good reason. It’s super tough – hardy, drought resistant and positively enjoys rubbish soil, it can also take a severe crew-cut if necessary. Hidcote is an early flowering lavender and is a magnet for bees and butterflies. This variety is known for producing high quality essential oil. Lavender Hidcote will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

There’s nothing common about this gorgeous evergreen shrub, with its pungent downy leaves and stunning purple flowers. A herb garden must-have, sage grows best in full sun, which brings out the flavour of the leaves. It does very well in pots or containers on a sunny patio or balcony and will love being outside in a bed with other Mediterranean varieties. It’s hardy and drought tolerant once established and needs a bit of space to reach its full potential. Sage will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Rosemary Barbeque has been specifically bred for its culinary benefits. Its as vigorous as rosemary goes and has squat bushy habit producing thick stems which are a delight smoking on the BBQ. All rosemary prefers a sunny position in fertile well-drained soil and hates sitting in the wet – this one’s no exception. Grow in a large pot on a sunny patio or make it the centre of attention in your Mediterranean herb bed. Rosemary will be happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

There are lots of thyme varieties, but this is the original and the best. The nearest thing to wild thyme, dried bunches of which you’ll see hanging in markets from Provence to Tuscany. As you can imagine, it likes a warm, bright location. South facing is best, planting in full sun brings out the essential oils in the leaves, concentrating the flavour. All thyme enjoys light, well-drained soil and hates waterlogging, especially in winter. Common Thyme will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Chives are a kitchen garden staple and if allowed to will seed quite happily about the garden. They’re a member of the allium family, alongside onions, garlic and leeks and have a mild onion flavour too – which is perfect for sauces, dressings, marinades and garnish. Easy to grow, choose a pot or at the front of a border in sunny or partially shaded spot. When harvesting, cut individual leaves down to just above the base – let some flowers grow for the bees and your salads. Chives will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

If there were a Champion’s League of Herbs – oregano would be in it every year, one of the old Italian giants…Napoli maybe? It’s a wonderful culinary herb and is really easy to grow if you treat it well. Oregano loves being in the sun, where the rays will concentrate the essential oils, scent and flavour of the leaves. It prefers light, free-draining soil like other herbs from the Med and hates soggy roots, especially in winter. Oregano will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

For some reason, Hyssop is a lesser known and grown herb. It was big in antiquity – used as an important culinary and medicinal plant and valued for its spiritual cleansing and protection against evil. A member of the mint family, it has a wonderful, minty floral taste with slightly bitter lavender overtones. Hyssop is a slow growing but super-hardy, semi-evergreen shrub which bees can’t get enough of. It’s comfortable in a range of soils and is an impressive plant when grown in a large pot on a warm, bright patio. Hyssop will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Once you discover winter savory in the kitchen, you’ll be chucking it in everything! It’s highly aromatic and similar to rosemary and hyssop in appearance. It has a peppery, thyme like flavour and suits cooking in stews, casseroles and sauces. Winter savory is a hardy, evergreen perennial and once established is pretty bullet proof. Suited to pots on a sunny patio or windowsill, it will delight with pretty, nectar rich flowers in summer. Winter savory will be happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Thyme with a citrussy twist. Lemon scented and herb garden must have, this thyme variation has everything. It’s a tough, Mediterranean sun lover that enjoys light, free draining soil and hates waterlogging. An excellent variety for pots where you can control the drainage and moisture. In cooking it pairs brilliantly with chicken and the higher levels of citronella in the lemony leaves, give it medicinal powers other thymes don’t have… Your Lemon Thyme will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Even if you’re death to plants, you should be ok with Peppermint. It’s a cool, laidback herb – happy to chill in most aspects and soil types. Unlike its mates from the Mediterranean herb brat pack, it enjoys rich moist soil and dappled shade. You’ll know if it likes you as it will try and spread everywhere, so is best grown in a pot to restrict the runners. Peppermint has a sharper, more intense flavour than garden mint, making it excellent for teas, cocktails and desserts. Peppermint will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Lemon Balm has been used for thousands of years to ease digestive problems and as a feel-good mood lifter. It’s an undemanding, easy to grow herb thriving virtually anywhere in the garden, in sun or partial shade. Bees love the pretty flowers, but it’s the leaves which pack a lemony, minty punch and have a delightful citrussy aroma. In cooking, it’s an interesting lemon alternative – especially in fruit cocktails, desserts, cakes and marinades. Lemon balm will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Catmint is generally milder and less smelly than catnip but can still have a feelgood effect on felines. It has a minty aroma and produces spikes of beautiful deep violet flowers which will attract bees, potentially leading to some amusing but painful cat v bee interactions. Grow along the front of a border or in a raised bed, to spill out giving your kitty a nice comfy spot in the sun. Catnip will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Garlic chives are an allium like chives, but a different species altogether; allium tuberosum. They originated in China and spread throughout Asia before the rest of the world. Larger and more vigorous than chives, with flatter, broader leaves and a distinct garlicky taste. Garlic chives are easy to grow and actually considered invasive pests in some countries. They enjoy the same conditions as regular chives, including being particularly suited to pots.

The Curry Plant, botanically known as Helichrysum italicum, is a small, silvery evergreen shrub famous for its warm, curry-like aroma. Also called Immortelle, Everlasting, or Italian Strawflower, it smells unmistakably like curry powder. However, not to be confused with curry leaves, a staple of Indian cuisine which are from a Curry Tree (Bergera koenigii). This Mediterranean native is still valued for its culinary flair – adding a pleasingly mild curry flavour and aroma to dishes. Curry plants are a worth their place in your herb garden for their looks alone – unusual silvery foliage is studded with small, golden yellow flowers in summer. A beautiful and aromatic woody perennial which will delight the senses (and bees and butterflies!).

Marjoram is Oreganos sweeter, milder twin sister. They’re often confused but once you get to know them, you’ll appreciate their subtle differences. Marj is a real sun worshipper- she can’t get enough rays and will be happy in a south or bright west facing position, in fertile free draining soil. Equally at home lounging in a pot on a warm windowsill, her leaves have a delicate flavour and are heaven scattered onto a pizza fresh from a woodfired oven (along with her mate, Basil). Marjoram will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Garden Mint aka Spearmint (it’s rapper name) is a friendly, sweetly scented perennial which is virtually unkillable. In fact, it can be a bit too friendly and in the right conditions can get out of hand, so is best grown in a pot. It’s fast growing, so you can regularly pick refreshing leaves for desserts, sauces, cocktails and baking. The soothing and decongestant qualities of mint are well known, it’s also extensively used in skin care products. Your mint will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Rosemary is a totally under-rated shrub. The aromatic, evergreen leaves can be enjoyed all year round, bees and pollinators are drawn to the small, light blue flowers, it’s got loads of culinary uses and is full of health benefits. Miss Jessop’s Upright has a taller, less spreading habit than other varieties. She’ll enjoy most conditions in a sunny sheltered spot – pot, container, in the ground, she’s not fussy but likes fertile, well-drained soil. Miss J will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until she needs potting on.

Amongst the mainly green leaved herb community, purple sage stands out as a beautiful, dusky contrast. It has all the culinary benefits of common sage but is said to have a slightly more peppery taste. The delightful bronze purple leaves and stems will gradually fade to a grey-green hue, so make the most of them in a large patio pot or sunny spot in your herb garden. It’s hardy and drought tolerant once established and needs a bit of space to reach its full potential. Purple sage will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Where have all the butterflies gone? The sight of buddleia bushes pulsating with masses of vibrant species seems like a childhood memory.

Hopefully times are changing, with fewer pesticides used and rewilding being encouraged. These herbs will do their bit.

They're all evergreen, shrubby or woody types and once mature will be as tough as they come, giving essential culinary herbs through the autumn and winter. Slower growing than most, they'll happily sit on a sunny windowsill for a while (especially over winter) but will only reach their impressive potential outside in pots, a herb garden or border.

Bush Basil (aka Greek Basil) is a tough little small leaved variety which is less namby-pamby and a bit more punchy than the more temperamental sweet basil. Ideally suited to pots on a patio or balcony where you can enjoy the scent and leaves, it has a more pungent, spicy flavour and is wonderful in mediterranean cuisine. Greek basil is generally grown as an annual, but it is a tender perennial and if you’ve a greenhouse or poly tunnel you might be able to over-winter it. It’s small, tightly packed leaves and tough stem can allow for a bit of topiary, if you’re that way inclined.

Grow in a large pot on a sunny patio or make it the centre of attention in your Mediterranean herb bed. Rosemary will be happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Vietnamese coriander is an aromatic herb with a completely different flavour to its sometimes, soapy cousin. It’s a staple in South Asian and Northeast Indian cuisine, the leaves lending a vibrant, zesty hand to salads, soups, stir-fries and stews when added late on. The leaves look similar to lemon verbena and it enjoys similar conditions, it also enjoys a long, cool mojito with its mate Lemon V. Quite a vigorous grower once it gets going, so using the leaves regularly keeps it tidy and in check. Persicaria odorata is a tender perennial which is easy to grow if kept somewhere frost free, warm and sunny. It likes moist, fertile soil but not wet and is a great variety for pots. A cat and dog safe plant and one for a pet friendly flower garden.

Coriander is the go-to herb for use in curries and south Asian cuisine. The leaves have a fresh, citrussy, lemony flavour and the seeds a warming, nutty, zesty taste. It’s quite literally a ‘marmite’ herb as up to 20% of people find the flavour of coriander has an abhorrent rotten, soapy taste. This is actually due to a variation in a certain gene, the incident of which differs with ethnicity.

Once you discover winter savory in the kitchen, you’ll be chucking it in everything! It’s highly aromatic and similar to rosemary and hyssop in appearance. It has a peppery, thyme like flavour and suits cooking in stews, casseroles and sauces. Winter savory is a hardy, evergreen perennial and once established is pretty bullet proof. Suited to pots on a sunny patio or windowsill, it will delight with pretty, nectar rich flowers in summer. Winter savory will be happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

If you’re going to grow an ornamental grass why not choose one that smells lovely and has all sorts of culinary and medicinal uses? Lemon Grass originated in Southeast Asia but became popular across the ancient world as a treatment for infections, diseases and digestive complaints, so much so that it was also known as Fever Grass. Its strong citrus fragrance made it popular in perfumery and for dispelling bad odours. Of course, Lemon Grass’s main use is in cooking – particularly in Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Sri Lankan, Malaysian and Caribbean cuisines. Although Lemon Grass is a perennial, it’s frost tender and unlikely to survive the winter outside. However, it’s a great plant for pots and can be bought inside to overwinter in a heated greenhouse or conservatory.

French Tarragon has an unfair reputation as a problem - difficult to grow and quick to die. You just need to remember its more tender than most and hates overwintering in wet soil. Plant in full sun, in a herb bed or large pot with fertile, light, free-draining soil and you’ll be fine. It’ll grow vigorously when happy and should return again and again as long as it’s tucked up over winter or bought indoors (in pots). Tarragon will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Chervil is an attractive, ferny herb with a delicate anise, grassy smell. It’s under rated for some reason, perhaps because the plants resemble cow parsley, but it definitely pulls its weight. The mild flavour is particularly suited to eggs and sauces and it’s an important member of fine herbes. Generally grown as an annual, it likes a cooler, partly shady spot out of the midday sun. As a lush leaf producer, it needs rich, fertile soil and depth for the long tap root to quest for water in dry conditions.

Marjoram is Oreganos sweeter, milder twin sister. They’re often confused but once you get to know them, you’ll appreciate their subtle differences. Marj is a real sun worshipper- she can’t get enough rays and will be happy in a south or bright west facing position, in fertile free draining soil. Equally at home lounging in a pot on a warm windowsill, her leaves have a delicate flavour and are heaven scattered onto a pizza fresh from a woodfired oven (along with her mate, Basil). Marjoram will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Garden Mint aka Spearmint (it’s rapper name) is a friendly, sweetly scented perennial which is virtually unkillable. In fact, it can be a bit too friendly and in the right conditions can get out of hand, so is best grown in a pot. It’s fast growing, so you can regularly pick refreshing leaves for desserts, sauces, cocktails and baking. The soothing and decongestant qualities of mint are well known, it’s also extensively used in skin care products. Your mint will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

If there were a Champion’s League of Herbs – oregano would be in it every year, one of the old Italian giants…Napoli maybe? It’s a wonderful culinary herb and is really easy to grow if you treat it well. Oregano loves being in the sun, where the rays will concentrate the essential oils, scent and flavour of the leaves. It prefers light, free-draining soil like other herbs from the Med and hates soggy roots, especially in winter. Oregano will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Curled parsley is said to be milder than its flat leaved sibling and makes a great garnish used fresh. It likes rich, moist soil and prefers dappled shade to glaring sun – especially in pots which can dry out and encourage bolting. Pop a parsley plant on a kitchen windowsill to give you a handy supply of leaves, you’ll want to grow several and harvest in rotation to spread the load. Although parsley’s a biennial most people grow it as an annual as in year two, the leaves are more sparce and it sets seed. Parsley will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Amongst the mainly green leaved herb community, purple sage stands out as a beautiful, dusky contrast. It has all the culinary benefits of common sage but is said to have a slightly more peppery taste. The delightful bronze purple leaves and stems will gradually fade to a grey-green hue, so make the most of them in a large patio pot or sunny spot in your herb garden. It’s hardy and drought tolerant once established and needs a bit of space to reach its full potential. Purple sage will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

There are lots of thyme varieties, but this is the original and the best. The nearest thing to wild thyme, dried bunches of which you’ll see hanging in markets from Provence to Tuscany. As you can imagine, it likes a warm, bright location. South facing is best, planting in full sun brings out the essential oils in the leaves, concentrating the flavour. All thyme enjoys light, well-drained soil and hates waterlogging, especially in winter. Common Thyme will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Popularised by the famously multi-estranged folk duo Simon & Garfunkel, Scarborough Fair is a traditional northern English ballad about the impossible tasks a girl will to do to claim her true love. However, the inspiration from this collection came from the fabulous ‘Scarborough’ sausages of butchers Burton & Son in Saffron Walden. Original lyrics used ‘savory’ instead of ‘parsley’ – which is handy.

The big five are: Béchamel, Tomate, Hollandaise, Velouté and Espagnole. The herbs in this collection play an important part in many sauces and will delight cooks.

African basil will excel in your garden as well as in the kitchen. To be honest, it’s a bit of a show-off – the leaves start off a delightful purple colour, which turn green as they mature and feature striking purple veins. It then throws up gorgeous spikes of deep pink flowers which are a magnet for bees and pollinators (it’s also known as Bee Basil). Because it doesn’t set seed, the flowers last for ages and are great value in pots, beds or borders. It’s a vigorous basil and can grow to 75cm tall, so needs a largish pot if growing inside.

The Curry Plant, botanically known as Helichrysum italicum, is a small, silvery evergreen shrub famous for its warm, curry-like aroma. Also called Immortelle, Everlasting, or Italian Strawflower, it smells unmistakably like curry powder. However, not to be confused with curry leaves, a staple of Indian cuisine which are from a Curry Tree (Bergera koenigii). This Mediterranean native is still valued for its culinary flair – adding a pleasingly mild curry flavour and aroma to dishes. Curry plants are a worth their place in your herb garden for their looks alone – unusual silvery foliage is studded with small, golden yellow flowers in summer. A beautiful and aromatic woody perennial which will delight the senses (and bees and butterflies!).

Cardoon is a stately, statuesque perennial worth its place in any herb garden or wild meadow. It looks like the love child of a thistle and a teasel but is in fact the wild cousin of the globe artichoke. Considered a delicacy back in the day and is still enjoyed in rural Italy, the stems have a celery like crunch and flavour of artichoke. It needs a load of space and a sunny position in fertile, free draining soil. The striking foliage can reach 2m tall with beautiful thistly flowerheads which are a magnet for bees and pollinators.

Relax and enjoy the heady perfume and soporific droning of bees. Lavender Provence will be happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Create wonderfully scented hanging basket with this vigorous, trailing mint. Indian Mint (Satureja douglasii) isn't a true mint but it does a damn good impression! Brilliant for teas and with a load of health benefits, it has a strong, unique minty scent and is really easy to grow. A perennial, it's not fully hardy but will over winter in mild areas or in a sheltered position. Trailing or spreading up to 1m, with small serrated leaves and pretty, dainty white flowers.

If you’re a mint lover or just like wonderfully aromatic herbs, then mint Berries & Cream plants are for you. It’s more compact and less sprawling than other mint plants and has lovely fresh green leaves which darken as they get older. Like other mints, it can get out of hand quickly and is almost impossible to kill. So, if you don’t want to be overwhelmed, it’s best grown in a pot or container where you can enjoy the unique scent and beautiful pink flowers in the summer. Not surprisingly, the really special thing about Mentha 'Berries and Cream' is its unique, sweet, fruity fragrance which has hints of summer fruits with a more mild, minty finish than other mint varieties.

If you’re a basil lover, you’ll want to grow this. Most herbs are generally green leaved, so it’s always pretty to have something different.

Catmint is generally milder and less smelly than catnip but can still have a feelgood effect on felines. It has a minty aroma and produces spikes of beautiful deep violet flowers which will attract bees, potentially leading to some amusing but painful cat v bee interactions.

Catnip will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

what’s included
files/BBQP2ROS2SS2156400649.png Rosemary Barbeque
This variety has been specifically bred for its enhanced culinary benefits. A squat bushy habit produces thick, strongly flavoured stems and leaves which are a delight smoking on the BBQ. The thick stems can be used as kebab skewers.
files/BBQP6CHV2SS687823297.png Garlic Chives
Larger than chives, with flatter, broader leaves and distinct garlicky taste, excellent in a marinade or straight on the BBQ. Said to have aphrodisiac and libido enhancing powers to get your party in full swing!
files/SAG2_SS1829871734.png Purple Sage
Sage has a woody, earthy flavour of pine and citrus that cuts through fatty meats and game. Lay the thick stems and leaves across your BBQ coals to infuse your food with an aromatic smoke.
files/BBQP4THY1SS1725387943.png Common Thyme
Common – pah! This variety has one of the strongest most intense flavours outside of wild thyme. The woody stems make the leaves easy to strip, toss the discarded stalks onto your hot BBQ coals.
files/PIZZA_ORE1_SS2247126131.png Oregano
You can’t beat sprinkling your own freshly dried oregano onto pizza, meats, BBQ veg and tomato salads. Use dried in a Herbes de Provence or Za'atar mix, for an aromatic, earthy, peppery flavoured rub.
files/HYS_BBQ_SS1124299361.png Hyssop
Hyssop was widely used in olden times, it has a distinctive flavour, somewhere between rosemary, lavender and mint. It’s great with lamb and can be interchanged with rosemary or combined.
