Plant Profiles

Apple Mint - A lovely mint varietal with larger fuzzy leaves. Apple Mint is similar to but sweeter than spearmint. When flowering, plants reach up to 36" in height. Perennial.

Genovese Basil - An herb garden isn't complete without basil! Downy-mildew & fusarium resistant. Annual.

Lemon Basil - Bright lemon flavor with a sweet basil aroma. We love using this as a flower bouquet filler. Annual.

Purple Basil - Similar flavor & growth to Genovese Basil but with a slightly stronger flavor of clove. A colorful addition to the garden! Annual. 

Thai Basil - Savory and peppery basil, great for Thai cuisine. Annual.

Borage - The edible blue star-shaped flowers have a mild cucumber taste & add a bright pop of color when used as a garnish. A vigorous self-seeder - plant borage once and you'll never be without it again. Leaves should not be eaten. Annual.

Chives - An excellent addition to the herb garden. This perennial allium can be cut all season. Perennial.

Cilantro - A slow-to-bolt variety. Annual. 4-Pack.

Dill - Harvest leaves for eggs, fish, & potato dishes and then let it go to flower to add to your pickles. Annual. 4-Pack.

Lemongrass - Harvest the flavorful stalks in late summer/early fall for soups & stir-fries. Lemongrass also makes for a beautiful landscape plant with leaves 2-3 feet tall. Annual.

Marjoram - An underrated culinary herb and one of Emma's new favorites! Similar to oregano but with a more floral flavor. Tender Perennial.

Mojito Mint -The best mint for cocktails, mocktails, and desserts! Slightly sweeter than spearmint. Spreads vigorously, plant in a pot to keep it contained. Perennial.

Nasturtium - A mix of brightly colored flowers to add to salads & garnish plates. The whole plant is edible - the flowers have a peppery flavor, the leaves are more mild. Seed varieties are Alaska Mix and Jewel Mix - flowers might be red, orange, yellow, or cream. Annual.

Greek Oregano - A must-have in the culinary garden as there's no replacement for fresh oregano! This is a true Greek varietal. Perennial.

Parsley, Flat - A cut-and-come again herb to supply you with fresh parsley all summer. Biennial.

Parsley, Curly - Same flavor as flat parsley but more decorative with frilled edges. Biennial.

Peppermint - A mint with the most spicy profile, powerfully aromatic. True peppermint variety, taken from cuttings. Careful where you plant it as peppermint is a vigorous spreader. Perennial.

Rosemary - Bold flavor for meat marinades, roasted vegetables, and desserts. Annual in our climate - can be potted up to overwinter indoors.

Sage - Classic garden sage. Savory velvet leaves pair well with pork, fish, & potatoes. Perennial.

Summer Savory - A lesser known herb but incredibly flavorful! Tastes like a cross between thyme and oregano. Perfect for pairing with mushrooms, potatoes, lamb & beef dishes. Perennial.

Shiso, Purple - Also known as Japanese basil. Fragrant floral leaves to eat with rice, stir-fry, salads, sushi. Gorgeous purple color! Annual. 

Spearmint - Classic mint for desserts, fruit salads, and drying for herbal tea. Perennial.

French Tarragon - Common in French cooking. Typically challenging to find at fresh markets - it's worth having your own patch in the garden. French Tarragon has a fresh green flavor with a hint of anise. Perennial.

Thyme - Classic culinary herb. Hardy variety with compact leaves. Perennial

Creeping Thyme - Low-growing plant with a tendency to spread. Used less as an herb, more for an aromatic ground cover. 4-pack. Perennial.
