The Edible Hanging Basket Collection
Make the most of your growing space with The Edible Hanging Basket Collection. Specially selected for their trailing habits, compact growth and exceptional flavour, these six versatile herbs are perfectly suited to hanging baskets, window boxes and containers, bringing beauty and fresh ingredients together in one eye-catching display.
From the vibrant pink flowers of Thyme 'Caborn Wine & Roses' and the delicate blooms of Pink Chintz Thyme, to the wonderfully soft foliage of Woolly Thyme and the fresh citrus aroma of Creeping Lemon Thyme, every variety has been chosen to thrive in elevated displays. Completing the collection are the neat, aromatic leaves of Thyme 'Tabor' and the ever-reliable Chives, giving you a wonderful combination of texture, colour and delicious harvests throughout the growing season.
Perfect for patios, balconies and smaller gardens, these herbs spill beautifully over the edges of baskets while remaining easy to care for and harvest. Simply step outside, snip a few sprigs or leaves, and enjoy the flavour of home-grown herbs in everything from summer salads to roast dinners.
This collection includes:
Thyme 'Caborn Wine & Roses' – A stunning creeping thyme producing masses of rich pink flowers above aromatic foliage, creating a spectacular cascading display that's loved by bees.
Thyme 'Tabor' – A compact, aromatic thyme that gently trails over the sides of baskets, providing fresh flavour for cooking throughout the season.
Pink Chintz Thyme – Forms a beautiful carpet of tiny evergreen leaves covered with delicate pink flowers, making it one of the finest ornamental thymes for hanging displays.
Woolly Thyme – A wonderfully unusual variety with soft, silvery foliage that adds unique texture and creates a beautifully cascading effect in containers.
Creeping Lemon Thyme – Fragrant evergreen foliage releases a refreshing lemon scent, while its naturally spreading habit makes it ideal for tumbling over the edges of baskets and pots.
Chives – Upright clumps of fresh, mild onion-flavoured leaves provide a striking contrast to the trailing thymes, while the attractive purple flowers are a favourite with bees and other pollinating insects.
Whether you're working with a small patio, a sunny balcony or simply want to add something a little different to your outdoor space, The Edible Hanging Basket Collection proves that hanging baskets can be every bit as productive as they are beautiful. Combining ornamental charm with fresh culinary flavour, this collection is perfect for gardeners who want to make every inch of growing space count.

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.
