Aromatic Herb Collection

• Begin harvesting once the plants are well established, typically 4-6 weeks after planting.
• Use sharp scissors to snip leaves, starting from the outer edges of the plant.
• Leave at least 5cm of growth at the base to allow the plant to regrow.
• Avoid harvesting more than one-third of the plant at once to ensure it remains productive.

• Plant plug plants in late spring or early summer when the risk of frost has passed.
• Select a sunny or partially shaded area.
• Loosen the soil and remove weeds. If planting in pots, use multipurpose compost with added grit for drainage.
• Space the plug plants 15 - 20cm apart to allow good airflow.
• Dig a hole slightly larger than the plug, place the plant inside, and gently firm the soil around it.
• Water thoroughly after planting to help the roots establish.
• Use a container with a diameter of at least 20cm per plant or group several in a larger pot.
• Ensure the pot has good drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Caring:

• Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
• Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, especially during hot weather.
• Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 3 - 4 weeks during the growing season to promote lush growth.
• Apply a thin layer of organic mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
• Regularly pinch out flower stalks as they appear to encourage leafy growth and delay bolting (going to seed).

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
