Stevia is also known as candyleaf, sweetcheeks, sugarleaf and Sweet Herb of Paraguay – you can guess why. It’s hundreds of times sweeter than sugar and originates from South America, where it’s a valuable medicinal herb too. As a native of the tropics it loves similar conditions – a warm, sunny spot in dappled shade with its roots in damp, fertile, well-draining soil. Stevia is a frost tender perennial so will need to be bought indoors if you want it to survive overwinter. Stevia is pretty vigorous but will be ok in our pot on a sunny windowsill to begin with.

Milk thistle, known scientifically as Silybum marianum, is a spiky yet beautiful herb with the best latin name of any plant, in our opinion! It’s one of those wildflowers which maybe considered a weed – it’s very vigorous and will spread quickly. However, if you’ve room in your garden it’s a wonderful, architectural plant, loved by bees and butterflies and of course is renowned as a natural remedy for liver conditions. It’s a great plant for a cat safe or dog friendly garden and is actually used in some pet supplements to boost liver functions. The spikey leaves generally discourage nibbling anyway.

Toadflax is a delightful, cheerful wildflower herb which spreads freely and can get a bit out of hand. It’s hard to complain at its profligacy because Toadflax flowers are a designed for bees and look simply gorgeous. Often called ‘wild snapdragons’ due to their resemblance to Antirrhinums, they’re actually second cousins or something and are certainly more useful! Unfortunately, Toadflax doesn't play well with cats and dogs - it can be toxic if eaten. Historically, Toadflax was used as a natural dye for producing yellow hues. It was considered a “herb of the people,” appreciated for its medicinal properties and its association with purity and resilience.

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. Cynara cardunculus 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.

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.
