Cold Tolerance: Zone 9a 9b-11
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 3 Feet
Water: Dry-Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Culinary, , Medicinal, , Ornamental

Forget the drug store skin care. Reach for a succulent tip off this medicinal and squeeze out a thick, cooling gell proven to heal burns, minor skin abrasions and rough garden hands. This is a premium medicinal variety, organically grown, originally from the world's largest Aloe grower. Here in Ohio, we plant it in the ground about June 1st and it doubles in size by the end of the summer with nice blue-green spiny leaves, rich in many more ""miracle"" properties than I have room to list here. $ 3.79

Aloe barbarensis

Cold Tolerance: Zone 9a 9b-11

Arnica

Arnica chamissonis var. foliosa

Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 1-2 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Flowers: Middle Summer
Common Uses:Bees, Groundcover, Medicinal, Ornamental

This North American native is nearly identical in every way to it's well known cousin Arnica montana, with perky yellow/orange daisy flowers on a 6" spreading ground cover, but it is easier to grow. Used in many homeopathic preparations and tinctures, for external wounds. $ 3.79

Bee Balm, Jacob Cline

Monarda didyma

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b
Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Shade
Height: 2-3 Feet
Water: Normal Wet
Soil: Organic-Loamy
Flowers: Early Summer
Common Uses:Bees, Edible Flowers, Medicinal, Ornamental

Improvements in bee balms always include an emphasis on ""Powdery Mildew,""a disease that's relatively harmless or at least controllable, but definitely unsightly. Siting ""Bee Balms"" in part sun but away from a North exposure, where the dew takes hours to dry in the morning, helps. So does choosing this very mildew resistant herb with huge red flowers and vigorous growth. $ 3.79

Bee Balm, Marshall Delight

Monarda didyma

You may wonder with all the fuss over mildew resistance, why even choose a ""Bee Balm."" One look at these rich pink, confetti flowers that just happen to add a sweetness, found in no other herb, and your next Summer fruit salad will seem naked without it. Don't panic that it's also resistant to ""Rust."" I'm telling you, it's well worth a try. $ 3.79

Butterflyweed \ Pleurisy Root

Asclepias tuberosa

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: Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Late Summer to Middle Summer
Common Uses:Borders, Butterfly, Medicinal, Ornamental

One of the most important plants you can buy to help save the Monarch Butterfly and give yourself a beautiful, bright orange, hardy perennial simultaneously. The dried powdered roots can be decocted to make a powerful expectorant and when combined with Angelica archangelica was used to treat Pleurisy. Once established, it will not transplant well. $ 4.79

Catnip

Nepeta cataria

Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: P.Shade-Sun to Sun
Height: 2-3 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Any Soil
Common Uses:Bees, Butterfly, Medicinal, Tea

Since this is the original ""6-Pack of beer"" for cats, protect new plantings until established. For humans, a medicinal tea is made from 2 tsp. dried catnip per 1 cup of water to aid in sleeping, colds and fevers. Flavor with honey or stevia. Remove flower heads before they mature to prevent self-sowing, unless you desire it for the entire neighborhood. $ 3.79

Chamomile, German Improved

Matricaria recutita (chamomila) 'Bodegold'

Cold Tolerance: Zone 7a 7b 8a 8b
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 1 1/2-2 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Flowers: Early Summer
Common Uses:Medicinal, Tea

Harvest is easier with larger flowers and, more effective for occasional insomnia, with its higher oil content. Pick whole flowers and dry on horizontal window screens. After 2-3 days, place a tray, under the screen and rub flowers. Only white petals and yellow centers should fall through to the tray. Avoid bitter stem & green caps (although they tend to be a good ""digestive""). We make a tea using 2 tsp. dried herb per cup of hot water. $ 3.29

Chaste Tree, Cutleaf

Vitex negundo

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b-11
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 4 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Organic-Loamy
Flowers: Early Summer
Common Uses:Borders, Medicinal, Ornamental

This general purpose female herb is sheer elegance in pure blue, 5"" flower spikes which devour plants in July. In northern Ohio, perennial shrub dies back to ground each winter, but grows into small 12' trees, zone 7 or warmer. Pepper-corn sized seeds have been used in the past to reduce female sexual desire (and ""hot flashes"") - hence the name. You choose whether you want to stand clear or attack it, but seriously, respect its power and do your own research. $ 5.29

Coltsfoot

Tussilago farfara

Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b
Light: P.Shade-P.Sun to P.Shade-Shade
Height: 12in.
Water: Normal
Soil: Organic
Flowers: Middle Spring
Common Uses:Medicinal

In April, dandelion-like flowers appear before leaves emerge. Colt's foot shaped leaves, up to 4" across, enjoy a shady, moist spot under our blue spruce. We make a strong tea, sweetened with honey, and sip it to soothe coughs. Caution, it can really take over provided the right conditions. Limit its growth with lawn edging and it obeys. $ 3.79

Costmary, Bible Leaf

Tanacetum balsamita

Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 2-3 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Common Uses:Bath, Culinary, Medicinal, Potpourri

Its 6"" long, strap shaped leaves and mint fragrance served as a bible marker and ""stimulant"" during lengthy sermons. Fine hairs give a light gray look. Spreads by underground branches which bolt in June to form dandelion-like, frankly unattractive, flowers. Remove prior to flowering if you find them undesirable. Use fresh leaves sparingly in salads and soup, also dried leaves in sleep pillows. $ 3.79

Echinacea, Paradox Yellow

Echinacea paradoxa var. paradoxa

Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun
Height: 3-4 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Late Summer to Middle Summer
Common Uses:Borders, Butterfly, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea

The paradox of this ""Purple Coneflower"" is that it's yellow! This refreshing early summer blooming perennial has the classic rosette plant from which emerge majestic daisy-like flowers. Has many of the same medicinal components as E. angustifolia. $ 3.79

Echinacea, Pastel Pink

Echinacea pallida

Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 2-4 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Late Summer to Middle Summer
Common Uses:Borders, Butterfly, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea

Considered by many, to be the most medicinally active species of all the ""Purple Coneflowers"" and suspected to be sold in Europe as E. angustifolia. Subtler beauty than E. purpurea, with pale, pink, droopy, more narrow flowers petals, and just as potent. $ 3.79

Echinacea, Purple

Echinacea purpurea

Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 2-3 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Late Summer to Middle Summer
Common Uses:Butterfly, Cut Flower, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea

We chose this herb as part of our logo because of its beauty and multiple use: the quintessential herb. 4"" large, purple, daisy shaped blossoms are held upright on sturdy stems. ""Echinacea,"" is one of America's favorite medicinal herbs for the colds and flu. You can imagine my face when Mark pointed to the newly purchased Vodka saying "" It's for medicinal purposes,"" but he wasn't kidding. He made a tincture by stuffing a canning jar with coneflower leaves and filled it with 100 proof Vodka. We placed it in the closet and shook it daily for two weeks. Tasted awful, but seemed to work for us and we take it by the dropperful. We use it ONLY at the onset of symptoms, or when we're exposed to ""snotty"" folks, then we quit taking it, within 3 weeks. Pick leaves before it flowers and harvest flowers in their peak. Some folks believe the roots are the most therapeutic, but we've used all parts, in their prime. $ 3.79

Echinacea, Tennessee

Echinacea tennesseensis

Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun
Height: 3-4 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Butterfly, Cut Flower, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea

This Echinacea does not stop flowering. We predict that this species, which was almost dug to extinction, (and was placed on the National Endangered Species list) will become one of America's most popular flowering perennials. What a great medicinal herb too. It is similar to Echinacea angustifolia in its medicinal chemistry. Smaller flowers than other ""Purple Coneflowers"", but the petals on this variety turn upright and are darker purple rather than droopy and washed out. $ 3.79

Elderberry, Black

Sambucus canadensis

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Sun-P.Shade to P. Shade
Height: 10 Feet
Water: Wet-Normal
Soil: Organic-Loamy
Flowers: Early Summer
Common Uses:Bees, Borders, Culinary, Edible Flowers, Hedges/Shrubs, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea

This hardy small tree is loaded with 5"" white flower clusters in early summer which turn into small black tasty berries, rich in Vitamin C and used to make wine, jelly, and pies. Flowers can be used in a tea for colds, as a face wash, or battered and deep fried. Leaves can comfort minor bruises. Berries are best in pies (See our recipe) and immune building syrups, especially safe for children. The prime component of ""Sambucol"" (childrens' syrup) sold in health food stores. $ 5.29

Elderberry, Madonna

Sambucus nigra 'Madonna'

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Sun-P.Sun to P. Shade
Height: 10 feet
Water: Wet-Normal
Soil: Organic-Loamy
Flowers: Early Summer
Common Uses:Bees, Culinary, Edible Flowers, Hedges/Shrubs, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea

Oddly enough, 'Madonna' exhibits a golden variegation as opposed to the white color on Variegated Elderberry. Otherwise, it is the same. Because of its overall warm appearance, it is a welcome backdrop for wildflowers or English Cottage gardens. Native elderberries, run amuck, may have scared gardeners away from their beauty. You have nothing to fear with this magnificent shrub. $ 5.29

Epazote /Bean-o Herb

Chenopodium ambrosioides

Cold Tolerance: Zone 9a 9b-11
Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun
Height: 2-3 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Culinary, Medicinal

Insist on this Mexican herb with any bean dish to "for-go the fireworks." Use 1/4 cup chopped fresh leaves per kettle of stews, soups, & bean dishes during the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking. Don't worry about the unusual odor. I believe it quickly dissipates and imparts little flavor, if any, although others say they even like the taste. Absolutely necessary for black bean soup or chili. $ 3.29

Ephedra, Joint Fir

Ephedra refeliana

Cold Tolerance: Zone 11 5a 3a 3b 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 9a 9b-11
Light: Full Sun Only
Height: 3in. x 6
Soil: Sandy Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Middle Spring
Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Garden Railroads, Groundcover, Medicinal, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental

Sorry, but there is no buzz, or sinus relief from this dwarfed version. Instead you will enjoy its miniature ""Wild Horestail-like"" pipes, stacked on top of one another, with summertime red berries smothered in btween. Needs great drainage in winter. $ 4.79

Fennel, Bronze

Foeniculum vulgare `Bronze'

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 2-4 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Late Summer to Middle Summer
Common Uses:Butterfly, Culinary, Edible Flowers, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea

This beauty need not provide anything useful, but boy does it ever! Imagine fine feathery foliage with a bronze-red cast, tickling yellow hued ""Queen Anne Lace""-like flowers above. Does not produce a bulb but leaves and stems are tasty, finely chopped, added to salads, fish, and soups. A tea from the leaves or seeds eases our indigestion. After seeds begin to mature, cut entire stalks. Hang them upside down in a paper bag to finish ripen, and avoid self-seeding all over the garden. $ 3.79

Feverfew

Tanacetum parthenium

Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 2 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Flowers: Late Summer to Middle Summer
Common Uses:Bees, Borders, Medicinal, Ornamental

Clusters of 1/2"" white daisy flowers reach 6"" above green, deeply lobed leaves that forms a 2 foot tall by 2' wide rosette. Customers have tried fresh leaves hidden in a mayonnaise sandwich (to mask bitterness) for reducing the severity & frequency of migraines. $ 3.79

Garlic, Hard-neck Music

Allium Sativum

Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 1 Foot
Water: Normal
Flowers: Early Spring
Common Uses:Culinary, Edible Flowers, Medicinal

GROWN IN A 4 PACK TRAY

For those of you who forgot to plant your cloves last fall, we offer a ""cold treated"" hard-neck garlic. It produces about 6-8 cloves per bulb that are easy to separate and peel, with a touch of heat and real garlicky flavor. You'll receive a 4 pack of sprouted large cloves which should be put in the ground immediately, about 8"" apart. In the spring, we remove our flower heads (scapes) that curl above like a pig's tail. Saute them in butter and stink up the kitchen to garlic high heaven. Harvest in July when bottom 3 leaves have dried up. Save the largest cloves for planting next fall, as they will yield the biggest bulbs. Southern growers need to cold treat their bulbs next winter. $ 3.79

Germander

Teucrium chamaedrys

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 1-2 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Common Uses:Bonsai, , Medicinal, , Ornamental

Rose-pink flowers compliment this shiny border shrub. Also known as ""Poor Man's Boxwood,"" it is mandatory in any knot garden. A preferred bonsai candidate, since it takes pruning very well. $ 3.79

Germander, Creeping

Teucrium chamaedrys prostratus

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 6 inches
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Common Uses:Medicinal, , Ornamental

This creeping selection shows off soft, shiny green leaves with scalloped edges and lipstick pink flowers in May-June. It's comfortable in large containers as it spreads slowly by underground stems. In the garden, forms a weed-proof mat. $ 3.79

Gota Kola, Variegated

Hydrocotyl sibthorpioides

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b-11
Light: P.Shade-Sun
Height: 2"" spreading
Water: Wet-Normal
Soil: Organic-Loamy
Common Uses:Baskets, Groundcover, Medicinal, Miniature/Faery Garden, Shade

If conditions are right you can site this polite spreader anywhere. Its variegated, round leaves brighten a shady path (where hardy), or cozy up to ""Impatiens"" in a shady annual basket. Grown in full sun, tuck them in wet soil, around wet bogs and pond edges. We don't know if it contains the brain strengthener constituents of the non-variegated Gotu Kola but the leaves taste exactly the same. $ 3.79

Gotu Kola

Hydrocotyl asiatica minor

Cold Tolerance: Zone 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b-11
Light: P.Shade-Shade
Height: 3in.
Water: Wet
Soil: Organic
Common Uses:Baskets, Groundcover, Medicinal, Shade, Tea

Scratching her head, a customer told me, ""I just read about Gotu Kola but I can't remember what it was used for."" I smiled and gently replied, ""it's said to improve brain function, particularly, memory."" I have read, (though I can't remember where) ;), you can add 1 tsp dried leaves to 1 cup boiling water daily; or stronger when used for a wound wash to reduce inflammation. Northerners, take indoors or protect. $ 3.79

Light: P.Shade-P.Sun to P. Shade
Height: 12 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Common Uses:Bath, Culinary, Medicinal, Ornamental

CAN NOT SHIP TO WASHINGTON STATE.

Young golden leaves mature to dark green, giving a two-tone appearance. Tiny hop blossoms are used for sleep pillows and pilsner-style beers. Site in afternoon shade to prevent sun scald. It forms into a thick climber hiding chain link fences. `Munstead Lavender, Dazzling Pink Chives and Golden Hops" created our most vivid trio of all. $ 4.29

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.

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.) $ 5.29

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. $ 3.79

Hyssop, Pink

Hyssopus officinalis `Pink'

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! $ 4.79

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

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. $ 4.29

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. $ 4.29

Lavender, Cynthia Johnson

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Cynthia Johnson’

Dark blue-purple flowers in tight clusters on taller stems than "Hidcote" appear about a week later, contributing to a longer blooming season. A Rice Creek introduction - Thank you Cynthia Johnson!, who ever you are. $ 4.29

Common Uses:Container, , Culinary, , Medicinal, , Ornamental

Need a lavender that rarely stops flowering year around, has nice blue flowers and tastes great too? So what's the catch? None really, except that it's not hardy below Zone 9. But northerners can containerize plants indoors where it happily grows & flowers. The gray green color falls in between green and silver fern-leaf varieties. $ 4.29

Aloysia citriodora (A. triphylla)

Cold Tolerance: Zone 7b 8a 9a 9b-11
Light: Sun-P.Sun
Height: 3-6 Feet
Water: Wet-Normal
Soil: Organic
Common Uses:Culinary, , Medicinal, Potpourri, Soap Making, Tea

Bright green elliptical leaves give off the most scintillating lemon flavor in fruit salad, cake and sorbets. Difficult to overwinter, but summer's growth provides enough to freeze or dry for tea and winter treats. For the winter gardener, we recommend allowing it to receive 1-2 frost to kill leaves before bringing in for the winter & starting new. This will leave any spider mites, whitefly or aphids outside! $ 4.29

Squeeze and swirl it in hot coffee. Couldn't be easier. $ 3.79

Water: Wet-Normal
Soil: Organic-Loamy
Common Uses:Culinary, Edible Flowers, Fragrant, Medicinal, Ornamental, Potpourri, Tea

A novelty spearmint variety with ruffled curly edges and a fresh, mild flavor for peas. This is the prettiest green leaf mint, in my opinion. Do NOT cram it in a corner as it's slightly susceptible to rust disease. With air movement, it's no problem. $ 3.79

Perhaps the hardiest of all varieties, however, our winter breezes are still too stiff. In the past, we wrote about it's rangey form, but frankly, this year it was thick & well branched. Go figure.

""Thanks for the Memories""

Madeleine Hill did not introduce this hardy variety (she introduced 'Arp'), rather it was named in her honor, by Tom DeBaggio. Long ago we were impressed with it's healthy and hardy growth habit. Not hardy in our open fields, but then all hardy rosemaries have a difficult time overwintering here. Plant against a south wall and protect from brisk winds with something transparent (not mulch!). A well drained, gravelly soil is also critical to prevent spring root rots. $ 3.79
