    Year round herbs for the garden

Our Summer Savory plug plants come in sets of 3 in small 8.5cm biodegradable pots, ready to be planted straight away.

    Number of plants: 3 (8.5cm biodegradable fibre pots)

    Tagetes x 20
    Plant tagetes close to your tomatoes, peppers and aubergine to deter whitefly. They also look very pretty when in flower. The petals have a distinctive zesty flavour and can picked and used fresh to garnish salads.

    Calendula (Pot Marigold) x 20
    The strong colour of calendula attracts beneficial hoverflies, lacewings and ladybirds. Plant them in amongst your crops or next to rows of veg. You can add the petals to brighten up your salads and even add to paella too.

    Nasturtiums x 20
