Horehound Marrubium vulgare Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a5b6a6b7a7b8a8b Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 2 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Common Uses:Medicinal Grayish green, crinkled leaves and tidy little mounds, surprise you in the spring. Summer flowering results in a rank floppy appearance which can be controlled by pruning tips and garish white blossoms. For sore throats, we use 9 fresh leaves with 1 tbsp honey. To make your own candy, refer to Leslie Bremness' ""The Complete Book of Herbs"". (My first herb book that I really studied and still enjoy.) $ 4.99	Horseradish Armoracia rusticana Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 3 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Any Soil Common Uses:Culinary Along with coriander, nettle, horehound and lettuce, this is one of the 5 bitter herbs of Passover. Dig and wash roots in the fall as frost kills leaves. Use potato peeler (and goggles!) to remove skin and grate roots through food processor. Add vinegar for traditional sauce. Use quickly to avoid bitterness. Avoid aggressive growth, by harvesting outside edge roots. $ 3.49	Hyssop, Blue Hyssopus officinalis `Blue' Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 2 Feet Water: Normal Common Uses:Bees, Butterfly, Hedges/Shrubs, Medicinal, Ornamental Blue flower spikes appear throughout the growing season. This miniature semi-evergreen shrub is extremely hardy and ideal for hedges and borders. It is easily clipped but be aware of bees- it's an important source of pollen for them. Overlook the bitter fragrance as it flavors heavy meats and liqueurs quite nicely, or so I have read. $ 3.49
Hyssop, Pink Hyssopus officinalis `Pink' Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 2 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Loamy Common Uses:Bees, Butterfly, Hedges/Shrubs, Medicinal, Ornamental Semi-evergreen, nice bloomer and bee attractor. Like "Blue Hyssop" but with tasteful pink flowers. Another "poor man's boxwood" hedge. $ 3.49	Hyssop, White Hyssopus officinalis 'Albus' Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 2 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Loamy Common Uses:Bees, Butterfly, Hedges/Shrubs, Medicinal, Ornamental A white flowering variety for the moonlight garden. $ 3.49	Lady�s Mantle, Parsley- Leaf Alchemilla episila Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: P.Shade-Sun Height: 12 - 16in. Water: Normal Soil: Organic Sandy Common Uses:Cut Flower, , Medicinal, , Ornamental, Shade Smaller and more compact than "Thriller," yet I wouldn't consider it dwarf status. Instead, "Parsley leaf" is a very clean, shade loving mound from which arise the yellow flowers in summer. And guess what? The deer hate the taste of this too! $ 4.49
Lady�s Mantle, Thriller Alchemilla mollis `Thriller' Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: P.Shade-P.Sun Height: 3in. Water: Normal Soil: Loamy Flowers: Late Summer to Middle Summer Common Uses:Borders, Cut Flower, Medicinal, Ornamental, Shade Brighter yellow flower clusters distinguish this variety from the normal "Lady's Mantle." Makes a classy cut flower filler; a refreshing change from "Baby's Breath". Combine with "Astilbe" and lilies. Medicinally used as a poultice to stop bleeding or as a heart tonic and mild sedative tea. $ 4.49	Lamb�s Ear, Flower Free Stachys byzantina 'Silver Carpet' Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Full Sun Height: 6in. Water: Normal Soil: Loamy Flowers: None Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Borders, Butterfly, Cut Flower, Groundcover, Ornamental Forms a thick solid mat of woolly silver leaves that Joshua loves to cuddle. This cultivar rarely flowers which allows a behaved, tidy appearance all Summer. A favorite overwinter home for lady beetles, so it's an aid next to roses and other aphid havens. Plant under roses for contrast or in a moonlight or children's garden. Rated #1 by 3 out of 4 pre-schoolers! $ 3.49	Lamb�s Ear, Helen Von Stein Stachys byzantina 'Helen von Stein' Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Full Sun Height: 8in. Water: Normal Soil: Loamy Flowers: Middle Summer Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Borders, Butterfly, Cut Flower, Groundcover, Ornamental Lady bugs rejoice! After many tries, we finally received the real thing. Six to ten inch fuzzy leaves give this variety its other name "Big Ears" and a warm winter home for beneficial lady beetles in the North. Holds up better in the heat and humidity, maybe because it is not as fuzzy, albeit just as fun to pet. $ 3.49
Lavandin, Edelweiss Lavandula x intermedia 'Edelweiss' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun Height: 3-4 Feet Water: Dry-Normal Soil: Loamy-Sandy Well Drained Flowers: Middle Summer Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bath, Bedding Plant, Borders, Cut Flower, Fragrant, Medicinal, Ornamental, Potpourri, Soap Making A new variety to the herb world which is similar to "White Spike Lavandin", except that the plants are more compact and flower petals, a brighter white.

Their strong scent leads to medicinal use, as well as fragrant potpourri or soothing, blues-chasin' baths. $ 3.99	Lavandin, Grosso -Fat Spike Lavandula x intermedia 'Grosso' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun Height: 1-2 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Loamy-Sandy Well Drained Flowers: Middle Summer Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bees, Borders, Cut Flower, Fragrant, Medicinal, Ornamental, Potpourri, Soap Making After an "Herb Companion" article rated this the best overall variety, we had to offer it. The experts and we agree. 'Grosso' earned finest overall appearance, color, size, flavor and fragrance plus it's hardy to Ontario, Canada! Even three weeks after we cut off the first crop of flowers, the whole area still had the marvelous fragrance. Dry easily, to preserve appearance and fragrance for a long time. No wonder it's the most popular lavender in France by far. $ 3.99
Lavandin, Hidcote Giant Lavandula x intersectional 'Hidcote Giant' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun Height: 3-4 ft.

An improvement over "Provence" with darker flowers. Rebloomed occasionally throughout the season. $ 3.99	Lavandin, Richard Gray Lavandula x intersectional 'Richard Gray' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a Light: Full Sun Only to Sun-P.Sun Height: 2-3 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Loamy-Sandy Well Drained Flowers: Late Summer Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bedding Plant, Borders, Culinary, Cut Flower, Medicinal, Ornamental, Potpourri, Soap Making Similar to "Sawyer's Woolly" except that the leaves as well as the entire plant appear shorter and the shade of silver is, well, kicked up a notch! $ 3.99
Lavandin, Seal Lavandula x intermedia 'Seal' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun Height: 3-4 ft. Water: Dry-Normal Soil: Loamy-Sandy Well Drained Flowers: Middle Summer Common Uses:Bath, Bees, Borders, Cut Flower, Fragrant, Hedges/Shrubs, Ornamental, Potpourri, Soap Making Do not confuse this "Seal" with the "Seal Seven Oaks" (English) Lavender. Both are hardy here, but this Lavandin is much taller with mauve flowers and it blooms a little later. It is known for producing large numbers of flower spikes per plant. $ 3.99	Lavandin, Super Lavandula X intermedia �Super� Cold Tolerance: Zone 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun Height: 3-4 ft. Water: Dry-Normal Soil: Loamy-Sandy Well Drained Common Uses:Bath, Bedding Plant, Bees, Borders, Cut Flower, Fragrant, Medicinal, Ornamental, Potpourri, Soap Making Aromatherapists: stop here! Flower heads are very large, showy and produce some of the finest essential oils. A plant in bloom can reach up to 5' tall, in July, but we suggest you prune, the light violet spikes & branches, to a manageable, more attractive, 2-3 foot height. $ 3.99	Lavandin, White Provence Lavandula x intermedia 'Alba' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun Height: 2 1/2 feet Water: Normal Soil: Loamy-Sandy Well Drained Flowers: Middle Summer Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bath, Bees, Borders, Cut Flower, Fragrant, Ornamental, Potpourri, Soap Making Someday I'll see France for myself but until then I can dream & admire these pure white flowers waving softly in our lavender field. Tall stalks tower above silvery foliage, July through August. $ 3.99
Lavender, Croxton�s Wild Lavandula angustifolia 'Croxton's Wild' Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun Height: 3+ feet Water: Normal Soil: Loamy-Sandy Well Drained Flowers: Early Summer Common Uses:Bath, Bees, Borders, Culinary, Cut Flower, Edible Flowers, Fragrant, Ornamental, Potpourri, Tea We dropped the lavender commonly known as "True English Lavender" for this European introduction.

Tom DeBaggio introduction. $ 3.99	Lavender, Cynthia Johnson Lavandula angustifolia �Cynthia Johnson� Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun Height: 1 1/2 Feet - 2 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Loamy-Sandy Well Drained Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bedding Plant, Borders, Culinary, Cut Flower, Medicinal, Ornamental, Potpourri, Soap Making Hardy To Zone 4 @ -30 degrees!

A Rice Creek introduction - Thank you Cynthia Johnson!, who ever you are. $ 3.99	Lavender, Hidcote Type Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' Type Cold Tolerance: Zone 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 12-18 inches Water: Normal Soil: Loamy-Sandy Well Drained Common Uses:Culinary, , Medicinal, , Ornamental This very dwarf cultivar (shorter than 'Munstead') with dark blue/purple flower spikes, upscales any container, border, or hedge.
