Herb Plants
All our herb plants are sold in "trade gallon" sized pots. Most of them are reliably winter-hardy in Tennessee, where we are in USDA Zone 7A, unless otherwise noted. We do carry basils, lavenders, and stevia because of high interest, although they are not hardy in our area.
Please visit the page entitled "Potted Herbs" (link below) to see our large selection of herbs, including several varieties of some.
Please visit the page entitled "Herb Planters" (link below) to get an idea of the types of collections we offer, or to order one of our pre-made collection planters for yourself or as a gift.
Please use our "Contact" page to order your own special selection of three herbs from this list:
Artemisia - Leaves & sprigs are said to treat intestinal parasites & as insect repellent. Leaves are good for pressing.
Chocolate Mint - Great as a tea mixed with black tea or alone, and also with strawberries, chocolate desserts, and breakfast breads.
Green Sedum - Not a traditional herb, but this plant is a beautiful ground cover with yellow flowers in spring. Nice in rock gardens too.
Lemon Balm -- Flavoring in ice cream & herbal teas, sometimes combined with spearmint. Fruit dishes or candies; fish dishes; lemon balm pesto.
May be a preservative in sausages.
Lime Thyme – use in poultry dishes and anytime you want a citrus flavor.
Peppermint - may help to enhance memory, settle upset stomach, ease symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Good aphid repellant, & it smells great!
Pineapple Mint – variegation adds interesting color to dishes, also use for citrus flavor.
Purple Sage – flavoring & coloring in beef dishes, vegetables, salads, omelets, fritters, soups, yeast breads, marinades, meat pies, and poultry stuffing.
Rue - Cough syrup ingredient (Brazil), ointment for external use for gout, rheumatism, and sciatica. Caution: Large doses can cause mild poisoning.
Russian Sage - not edible, but lovely in dried flower arrangements, wreaths, etc. In its native countries of eastern Europe, it has medicinal uses as well.
Thyme - Mediterranean, Italian & Provençal French cuisines. Lamb, eggs, & tomatoes; soups, stews, stocks and sauces.
Variegated Oregano - Tomato, egg & cheese dishes; meat or poultry stuffings; on pork, lamb, chicken and fish. Chili powder. Italian, Greek and Mexican dishes.
