coriander, dill and borage to name but a few — these grow far better sown direct from seed than bought in pots. Plan your herb sowing now so that you are prepared when spring arrives and there will be so many jobs needing attention in the garden.
Lots of new herbs are planned and will be growing on for 2026.
After last year's hot weather and
the really dry conditions we are tailoring our new herb plants to take this into account.
Rosemary Foxtail makes a neat low-growing and arching specimen with tightly packed plume-like
foliage and lovely blue flowers in spring.
Several new lavenders will be really versatile for planting both in containers and into your garden borders.
Lavender BeeZee Pink has lovely pale pink flowers and grows well with the traditional Hidcote.
Lavender Lavlov Deep Pink is a new french lavender with stunning flowers and a nice compact growth.
Plus, Lavender Platinum Blonde — grey-green aromatic foliage with
a stunning creamy yellow margin
to each leaf and a profusion of soft lilac flowers in summer.
