The Strange and Beautiful Collection
What do you get?
A specially selected collection of nine plants that we rotate every few weeks, as the plants within this collection must meet VERY strict criteria. They must be either strange, beautiful or BOTH.
Every few weeks we bring together a collection of our absolute favourite herbs that we adore. Most of the plants that we grow are either strange, beautiful or both, and these are our favourites. Below are the plants that you will receive when ordering the collection this week!
The herbs that you will be enjoying:
Vietnamese Coriander - this is Coriander but not as we know it! This fantastic plant is in a different family to traditional Coriander and is easier to grow, looks incredible and gives you that amazing flavour with a citrus kick!
Thyme 'Doone Valley' - this low-growing variety of thyme has gorgeous golden foliage that look stunning in your growing space, as well as a delicious lemony flavour.
Lavender 'Pinnata' - this unusual Lavender variety is amazing, as it gives you the iconic purple flavour but within really unusual, silver foliage that looks stunning in your growing space.
Woolly Thyme - this variety is truly a strange but beautiful variety, with woolly foliage that creates a beautiful carpet effect in your garden, and it looks so pretty when dew settles on it in the morning.
Spicy Thyme - this plant really is unusual, as it gives you a lovely Thyme flavour with an unmistakable spicy kick too! This is a great variety for using in your cooking as well as giving you beautiful flowers during the warmer months.
Pineapple Mint - this unusual variety of mint isn't just great in a cocktail - which it is - but it's also seriously beautiful. The foliage is flamboyant, variegated, and highly fragrant, giving you a lovely, tropical scent.
Golden Thyme - a gorgeous, hardy evergreen variety of thyme that actually turns brighter gold as the seasons pass. It smell amazing too and lights up your herb garden.
Lemon Verbena - this variety really does smell strongly of sweet lemon and provides a delicious citrus flavour that is perfect for using to make herbal tea, bake a lemon drizzle cake or just to admire for its vibrant green leaves.
Thyme 'Tabor' - this Thyme variety is genuinely unusual, providing a great, evergreen groundcover across the whole year with big, bold foliage that looks really stunning in your growing space.

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.
