Plant description

A collection of 6 medicinal herb plants' seeds in a beautifully illustrated gift box.

Beautifully designed and containing a mix of beneficial plant seeds this wonderful collection is an ideal gift for a budding gardener who is looking to start a small apothecary garden with commonly grown, medicinal and recuperative plants from seed.

What's included:

In this selection you will receive 6 individual seed packets containing one each of the following plants within a sturdy, illustrated cardboard gift box.

  • Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium): Feverfew is a short-lived bushy perennial with pungently aromatic leaves and daisy-like flowerheads. The dried and fresh leaves are used in the relief for toothache and as an antiseptic and, as its common name suggests, is traditionally used for the treatment of fevers and migraine headaches. Grows to 0.5m.

  • Verbena (Verbena officinalis): An erect, branching, perennial herb with hairy, deeply lobed leaves producing wiry spikes of numerous tiny pale purple flowers. Used medicinally as a calmative tonic and to alleviate a variety of conditions including insomnia and mild depression. Grows to 1m.

  • Pale coneflower (Echinacea pallida): A tall coneflower with distinctive pale pink flowers with rays reflexed to droop down from the tall orange-brown cone. All parts of the plant have been used in tinctures or other medicinal methods and have been shown to stimulate the immune system - excellent for warding off colds and other infections. Grows to 1.5m.

  • Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus): A shrubby evergreen herb with highly aromatic leaves that are traditionally used for flavouring food. Rosemary has powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties and has been used since antiquity to alleviate muscle pain, improve memory, and boost the immune and circulatory systems. Grows to 1.2m.

  • Lavender (Lavandula × intermedia 'Vera'): A cross between the English and Portuguese lavenders, this form has long, slender flower spikes and grey-green leaves that smell divine, so they are often used for making potpourri. A plant with many uses, the oil derived from the narrow, needle-like leaves is highly regarded for skin and beauty and is commonly used in fragrances and shampoos to help purify the skin. Grows to 1m.

  • Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis): Claimed to have antiviral and antibacterial properties, the leaves of this bushy, perennial herb will release a strong lemon fragrance when they are bruised. They are useful for creating calming teas, lemon balm pesto or flavouring drinks (like Pimms) fruit or fish dishes. The crushed leaves are also said to help keep mosquitoes at bay when they are rubbed onto the skin, while the nectar-rich flowers, which appear in summer, are a firm favourite of of bees. Grows to 2m.
