Grow a Mediterranean-Inspired Herb Garden

Bring the scents and flavours of the Mediterranean to your home with this Large Herb Plant Mix. This collection features Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary), Laurus nobilis (bay), Thymus vulgaris (thyme), and Lavandula angustifolia (lavender)—all renowned for their culinary uses, aromatic foliage, and ornamental appeal.

Why Choose This Herb Mix?

• Evergreen & Hardy: Bay and rosemary offer year-round greenery; thyme and lavender add seasonal blooms and fragrance.
• Multi-Purpose: Use fresh sprigs in cooking, create fragrant bouquets, or attract pollinators to your garden.
• Strong & Established: Each plant arrives in a 14cm pot, ready for immediate planting and robust growth.

Growing Guide

• Sunlight: Position in a sunny spot—these herbs thrive in full sun.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged sites.
• Watering: Water moderately, allowing soil to dry between waterings once established.
• Feeding: Apply a general-purpose fertiliser in spring to encourage lush growth.

Planting & Care Tips

• Planting Time: Best planted in spring after the last frost, but can be planted throughout the growing season.
• Pruning: Trim lavender and thyme after flowering to maintain shape; prune rosemary and bay in late spring.
• Companion Planting: Pair with Mediterranean herbs like sage or oregano for a cohesive herb bed.

Design Ideas & Uses

• Grow in pots on patios, balconies, or near the kitchen for easy access.
• Incorporate into mixed borders for year-round structure and summer blooms.
• Use as fragrant edging along paths or driveways.
