Additional Information

Herbs are easy to grow in containers & gardens, from seed or plants. There are so many uses for herbs-anything from soaps, home décor, pest repellents, skin care, mixology, aromatherapy, & cooking.  And let’s not forget the flavors they bring to our tastebuds! They can be used fresh, frozen, dried or ground, & in oils. The use of herbs is evolving in many directions.  Most need to be grown in full sun, & pruned only when needed. Whatever your purpose, you will enjoy their low-maintenance qualities, & their many uses.

Availability: Anytime BUT limited daytime availability during months of March through June (I work at a Garden Center)
