Cornflower Plug Plants

Flowers all summer long. Intensely fragrant pure white-flowering lavender.

Noted for soothing irritations and inflammations of the skin, throat, eyes, lungs and urinary organs.

Of particular interest to diabetics. Sweet, anise-scented leaves and stalks (fresh or dried) add delightful flavour to sweets and desserts, saving about half the sugar.

Remove flowering tops as they appear to keep leaves tender. Large, succulent, slightly acid-tasting leaves give zest to salads and any dish which is insipid in itself. Most famous for sorrel soup.

Neat compact growth habit. Absolutely delightful lemon scent.

This is a completely different mint with a completely different role in the kitchen -- as a fresh salad green! The young leaves are tender and the flavour is mild, sweet and delicate, not at all like other stronger mints that can easily overpower.

(Catmint) Smaller ornamental form of catnip with lavender-blue flowers and grey-white foliage. Does not attract cats despite its stronger, more pleasant scent. Excellent for massing, as ground cover or in rockeries.

Lovely white ghost-like flowers; attractive silver foliage; excellent for dried arrangements. Also for ceremonial smudging. Used by Amerindians for diarrhea; also for headaches, stomachache, menstrual problems.

Its fuzzy leaves and stems have a distinct minty apple taste, and it lends its flavour to applemint jelly and couscous, as well as teas that will calm upset stomach and soothe body and soul.

Sensational orange scent and flavour. A favourite among West Indians. Deserving of experimentation in tea, cooking, and as a garnish.

Small deep green leaves. Excellent lime scent.

Fabulous pineapple scent. Brilliant red flowers. Grow indoors in good light. Use for drinks, chicken, cheese and in jams and jellies. Pinch to keep bushy.

Velvety, purple streaked leaves. Strong minty scent that some noses swear has a hint of chocolate.

Upright growth habit; prolific bloomer. Lovely pink-flowered version of ‘Majorca'.

Showy dark blue flowers; upright to trailing growing habit.

Prefers filtered light but can tolerate full sun. There is nothing else like it in the world of herbs! Red flowers are edible, and they are favourite haunts of hummingbirds. Looks and grows much like pineapple sage but has a stunning honeydew melon scent.

Helps calm the entire nervous system. Gentle sedative. Especially valuable for PMS, menstrual pain and delayed menstruation. Strengthens the heart and often prescribed for palpitations.

And so it does, with perfectly shaped, groovy leaves, and a hint of dark bronze at the tips at times. This mint means fun. RICHTERS EXCLUSIVE CANADIAN INTRODUCTION. Here´s to you! A big bold lime-scented mint for your next margarita.

Leaves are excellent in potpourris and sachets. Widely used in perfumes and soaps, and even to perfume India ink. One of the definitive perfumes of the Orient and of India in particular.

Heirloom paste tomato with very large, heart shaped fruit, meaty interior with very little juice or seeds. Excellent flavour for sauces, catsup, purees, bruschetta and soups.

It prefers a dry, sunny location and dislikes wet conditions. Small button-like yellow flowers will appear in summer, and can be used in potpourris to brighten the mix. Trim it back after flowering to maintain its shape.
