Never has there been a better time to plant a herb garden and reap the benefits of producing your own fresh, healthy food. And, of course, they are a pleasure to grow and make a pretty display. Making use of home gardens for kitchen produce has always been a sensible thing to do and this collection of 12 plug plants provides an easy and enjoyable way to establish some fabulous herb varieties. They are easy to grow and harvest, take up very little space and give you almost instant results - there's no hanging about for months while they mature! Growing your own herbs will encourage you to be more creative with your cooking and perhaps explore other ways to be inventive with herbs. Try drying any surplus for use in the kitchen through the winter months - even when dried, their flavour will be more authentic and intense than shop-bought herbs. You can even mix the dried leaves together as an aromatic pot pourri for your home. Planting herbs is also a great way to get the kids involved in gardening - and they will enjoy eating the results! This mixed collection of 12 plug plants provides one of the simplest ways of growing attractive herbs for pleasure and culinary use. It includes 7 of the more popular kitchen garden varieties: Mint, Thyme, Sage, Garlic Chives, Parsley, Tarragon and Rosemary.
This collection of six succulent houseplants is perfect as a gift for new gardeners or as a way to introduce children to the wonderful world of plants. They are very forgiving and will tolerate more than the occasional bout of neglect. Succulents have evolved to survive with very little water, storing what they do get in their fleshy leaves, so are perfectly adapted to modern home living. Needing very little in the way of care, these succulent plants are the ideal houseplant for anyone from experts to complete novices. Your succulent collection will thrive in a sandy compost with plenty of light and a little water now and again. Remember also that these are indoor varieties and will not tolerate the cold. If you're short on time but still want plants around you (after all, they do help clean the air in your home), then this is your solution! Slow-growing, they are perfect for home decoration, especially when placed in a pretty pot on a bright windowsill. Like cacti, they're ideal to get kids interested in gardening with their spiky shapes, just remember that they can be a bit sharp, so take care when handling them. Supplied as a collection of 6 mixed plants in 5.5cm nursery pots, ready for a window sill near you now! Images are for illustrative purposes to reflect the type of plant - individual varieties may vary depending on availability.Care GuideAlways use specialist cactus compost when potting. This is sandier and grittier than ordinary compost which helps keep the plants dry. Keep plants frost free - although some will tolerate low temperature, in general they need to be kept above 8-10C, so make ideal houseplants. While succulents can survive on very little water, they will not thrive. From April to September, water weekly, allowing the compost to soak up water and drain freely. Feed with a general-purpose feed at 1/4 strength once a fortnight. From October to March, water only when the compost has dried and then only enough to stop plants shrivelling. Keep your plants in bright, but not direct sunlight - an east or west facing windowsill is ideal. Dust can build up over time, so keep a soft paintbrush handy to remove it as necessary.This product is offered for sale for home delivery exclusively via our website only.
