A half hardy annual that can be grown in pots or the garden for delicious crops. The bushy plants are exceptionally vigorous and bred to be slow bolting. Ideal as a ‘’cut and come again’’ herb as they will regrow 3-4 times. Use the fresh picked fragrant leaves in salads and sandwiches to add a delicious flavour.
Winner of an RHS Award of Garden Merit for reliability and good performance.
