Planting

Plant after the risk of severe frost has passed into fertile, well-drained soil. Allow each herb enough space to develop, with good air circulation and easy access for care and harvesting.

Containers: Use individual pots or generous planters with drainage holes and a quality peat-free compost.

Care

Watering: Water regularly while the plants establish, particularly during warm or dry weather. Meadowsweet and American Skullcap appreciate more consistent moisture than the other plants in the collection.

Feeding: Apply a light general-purpose feed or a small amount of compost in spring. Avoid overfeeding, which can encourage soft growth.

Maintenance: Remove spent flowers where appropriate, trim tired growth and keep the area around young plants free from weeds.

Harvesting & Storage

Harvesting: Harvest leaves or flowering stems only once plants are well established and correctly identified. Pick during dry weather for the best quality.

Storage: Use fresh material promptly. Where drying is appropriate, dry in a warm, airy place away from direct sunlight and store in an airtight labelled container.

UK Growing Conditions

These herbs have been selected for successful cultivation in UK gardens. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded position, improve heavy soil with organic matter and protect newly planted herbs during prolonged severe frost or waterlogging.

Traditional Herbal Heritage

This collection brings together herbs with a long association with monastery gardens, physic gardens and traditional cottage-garden culture. They are supplied as garden plants, and the historical information is provided for educational interest only.

Please note: No medicinal outcome is implied. Do not ingest or apply plant material without correct identification and appropriate professional guidance.

Culinary Uses

Lemon Balm and Catnip have a history of use in herbal infusions. Only use plant material that has been correctly identified and prepared appropriately.

Wildlife & Garden Benefits

Together, the six herbs provide varied heights, textures, fragrance and flowering periods. Their flowers can support bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects throughout the growing season.

Plants: Plants are carefully packed and normally dispatched within 2–4 working days. Some plants may be delivered at the most appropriate time for planting or potting on.

Seeds and garden supplies: Seeds and garden supplies are normally dispatched within 2–4 working days.

Seasonal items: Bulbs, bare-root plants, trees and other seasonal products may be dispatched at the appropriate planting time to support successful establishment.

How big are the plants when they arrive

All plants are supplied in 7cm biodegradable pots and are well-rooted and established — not tiny plugs. They are ready to be planted straight into larger pots or your garden.

When orders are dispatched

Orders are usually dispatched within 2–4 working days. Each plant is carefully packed to ensure it arrives safely and in good condition.

Will the plants survive delivery

Yes — plants are securely packaged to protect them in transit. It’s normal for them to look slightly tired after travel, but they recover quickly once watered and settled.
