HERB LISTING The sizes of plants sold are not young transplants, but field grown plants ready to go into the landscape: the same plants that are sold directly at the nursery. We do not pot all plants in gallon size containers, but pot them in the correct size container for the root system and its required growing space. Most herbs prefer sun, well drained soil, and no fertilizer as too lush of growth alters flavor. They do like a bit of lime occasionally. Herbs that will tolerate shade (S) or prefer shade (SS) are so marked. The 'tender' herbs make wonderful houseplants and are lovelier as they increase with age and you can use them during winter months. I then place them in the herb garden in summer, in their pots or in the ground. Pot them up in Sept. and bring in when danger of heavy frost Z6 or colder. Don't over water. For 'KNOT' or Herb Garden edging, use Santolina, Tuecrium or dwarf (12" max) Buxus. Annual herbs are available May-July only. AGASTACHE (HYSSOP) A.
