Like all basil, it’ll demand sun and warm conditions in rich, moist soil. Equally at home on an indoor windowsill or in a conservatory, there really is no excuse not to grow this alongside other basils.

It makes a brilliant alternative to garden mint and enjoys the same conditions – rich, moist soil and dappled shade.

Best grown in pots and containers to curb its enthusiasm. Apple mint will be really 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.

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.

Lemon Bergamot, monarda citriodora is a really special variety with strong, citrus scented leaves combining with the unique bergamot smell. It's totally the best for a relaxing herbal, lemony tea.

Valerian is a pretty, native wildflower which attracts an abundance of friendlies to your garden, including cats (friendly or not) and has a rich medicinal history. It has many common names including ‘all-heal’ and ‘phu’ (pooh) which is appropriate as the dried root smells of sweaty socks! Cats love its ripe scent; it stimulates them in a similar way to catnip.
