We've got all kinds of intriguing herbs in stock for spring! Here's a sampler of some of the more unusual ones. From left to right:
Winter Savory is a hardy, peppery herb with handsome dark leaves and showers of white summer flowers that attract all sorts of native pollinators, including red-spotted purple butterflies. As much at home in the perennial boarder as it is in the herb garden!
Japanese Parsley, a.k.a. Mitsuba tastes like a cross between parsley and cilantro, and it's perennial, too! Plant it in a moist, shady spot, and enjoy it fresh or lightly cooked in any recipe that calls for parsley or cilantro.
Holy Basil is a pollinator powerhouse, and unlike Italian basil, it doesn't hurt to let it flower. Used in Southeast Asian cuisine, as well as traditional Indian Ayurveda medicine.
Salad Burnet is a pretty, ferny perennial. The young leaflets have a cucumber flavor, and can be added to salads, herbed butters & spreads, flavored vinegars and drinks.
True Hyssop (not to be confused with Anise Hyssop, which we also carry,) is a tough perennial that bears beautiful violet blue flowers June-September. Makes a wonderful perennial substitute for Rosemary, as well as an excellent bee and butterfly plant.
Horehound is famous for its traditional use in cough syrups and lozenges, and remains a key ingredient in Ricola cough drops. It's also an interesting looking perennial, with downy white stems that set off textured, gray-green leaves.
These are just a taste of the herbs we have to offer this spring. Our stock of homegrown herbs is limited, so get them before they're gone!
