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.

All keen cooks will want this queen in their kitchen! She’ll pep up your Asian dishes with an unmistakable anise/liquorice, slightly spicy flavour.

The small pinkish-purple flower spikes make a gorgeous garnish. Thai basil will be really happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Suitable for large pots or unfancied parts of your garden, in partial shade. St John’s wort will be happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

This gorgeous little herb is known as the wild pansy, but is actually a viola. It has a traditional use in love potions and to cure ailments of the heart, Cupid is said to have struck the plant with an arrow which bled purple with ‘loves wound’. You’ll love it in the herb garden because it prefers places others don’t like – even cool, shady areas. The dainty flowers add the finishing touch to a summer salad or long, cool beverage.
