Gin Botanicals Collection
There is far more to a good gin and tonic than gin and tonic. The garnishes, herbs and aromatics you add can completely change the character of the drink — and The Gin Botanicals Herb Collection gives you six wonderfully fragrant plants to grow, pick and experiment with at home.
This collection has been created for anyone who loves the ritual of making a really good G&T. From the intensely citrus fragrance of Lemon Verbena and the aromatic evergreen leaves of Rosemary, to the refreshing character of Hugo Mint, each plant offers something completely different for the glass.
Alpine Strawberry brings a deliciously fruity element, producing small, intensely flavoured strawberries that make a beautiful seasonal garnish. Salad Burnet offers something more unexpected, with attractive leaves carrying a fresh cucumber-like flavour — a natural partner for crisp, refreshing gin serves.
And then there's Cola Plant. Brush your fingers through its wonderfully aromatic foliage and you'll discover an extraordinary fragrance reminiscent of cola. It's exactly the sort of unusual plant that makes growing your own botanicals so much fun and provides a brilliant talking point when you're making drinks for friends.
The joy of this collection is experimentation. Try Rosemary with Alpine Strawberry, Lemon Verbena with Hugo Mint, or add a few leaves of Salad Burnet when you'd normally reach for cucumber. Pick, smell, taste and discover the combinations that work with your favourite gin.
Grow the collection together in a dedicated drinks garden or keep the plants in pots and containers close to the house, ready to pick whenever the ice comes out and the tonic is opened.
Whether you're creating a simple summer G&T, experimenting with cocktails or entertaining friends, The Gin Botanicals Herb Collection turns the garden into your very own botanical bar.
This collection includes:
- Alpine Strawberry – Produces small, intensely flavoured strawberries that make a beautiful fresh garnish for gin, tonic and summer cocktails.
- Hugo Mint – A wonderfully fresh and aromatic mint, perfect for adding freshly picked leaves to long drinks, spritzes and gin-based cocktails.
- Cola Plant – One of the collection's real curiosities, with intensely aromatic foliage carrying an unmistakable cola-like fragrance. A fantastic plant for experimenting with unusual garnishes and aromas.
- Rosemary – Bold, resinous and intensely aromatic. A fresh sprig makes a wonderfully fragrant garnish and pairs particularly well with citrus, berry and Mediterranean-style gin botanicals.
- Salad Burnet – Fresh leaves have a delicate cucumber-like flavour, making this unusual little herb a natural choice for crisp, refreshing gin and tonic combinations.
- Lemon Verbena – One of the most intensely citrus-scented herbs you can grow. A few freshly picked leaves bring a wonderful lemon fragrance to drinks without simply reaching for another slice of citrus.
Six plants. Endless combinations. Your own gin botanical garden, ready whenever it's G&T time.
We update the plants featured within this collection each week based on stock levels. This collection was last updated on 12/08/2026.
How big are the plants?
All herbs are supplied in 9cm pots. They will be freshly picked for your order. The condition of the plants is our primary concern when fulfilling your order. The foliage will differ in size throughout the season and may be clipped prior to dispatch. The herbs are not soft-grown and have spent time in unheated conditions. They are a product designed not just to last a few days but to be grown on by yourselves and supply flavour for months to come.
