Miniature orange blossoms reveal a mild, orange-citrus flavor scattered in fruit and green salads. Dry for ""confetti"" flowers over baked potatoes. In containers, plant with Ginger Mint, Cardamon and True Ginger for a tropical feel. To our delight, it'll self-sow during growing season.

Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 1 Foot
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Common Uses:Butterfly, Container, Garden Railroads, Culinary

Parsley update: some curled varieties now have flavor, as well as good looks and breath cleansing qualities. Mark demands this variety. Best used fresh but frozen works. (See our Basil Intro. for freezing information.) Goes with anything short of sweets but, dried parsley?- forget it!

Catalog > Hardy Perennial

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.

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!

Lavandin, Marge Clark

Lavandula angustifolia 'Marge Clark'

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b

Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bath, Bedding Plant, Bees, Borders, Cut Flower, Fragrant, Medicinal, Ornamental, Potpourri, Soap Making

From H & H Botanical in Michigan and named for the incredible herbalist who passed away suddenly a few years back, this is a superb seedling selection with very dark purple flowers and nice plant shape. An improvement over ""Provence"" with darker flowers. Rebloomed occasionally throughout the season.

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!

Mentha suaveolens `Variegata'

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b

White & green variegated leaves hold their color even in the summer heat. Try it in baskets with ""Opal Basil"" & ""Attar of Roses"" geranium. A colorful, fruity addition to cool sorbets, coleslaw, jell-o, pizza, iced tea, and tuna sandwiches.

MINTS, Did you know...

Kentucky Colonel Mint is the official herb in the Kentucky Derby's Mint Julep drink, which is where its name originated

Oregano, Hot & Spicy

Light: Full Sun
Height: 1 - 3 feet
Water: Dry-Normal
Soil: Loamy

We thought ""Chef's Greek"" had a strong flavor. This is for the person that really loves intense, strong flavors. Use, with care, in feisty salsa and chili dishes.

Very similar to ""Kent Beauty"" except this one has longer ""hop-like cones"" that are pure ivory with pink flowers poking out from underneath. The name sounds like the final exam for Limbo studies, but I assure you, it's gorgeous!

Hosta, Tiny Venusta

Hosta venusta

Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 9a
Light: P.Shade-P.Sun to Shade
Height: 2in. x 4in. wide
Water: Wet-Normal
Soil: Organic
Flowers: Early Summer
Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Container, Garden Railroads, Groundcover, Ornamental, Shade

Solid green tufts of 2 inch long leaves cuddle at the base, from which arise 6 inch tall stalks of purple flowers in the summer. Tougher and faster growing than Cat's Eye and also requires extra summer watering. Suitable companion of Faerie Ferns, Star Creepers, and Pearly Wire Vine and other faerie flora. This is not for the Southwest.

Ice Plant, M & Mini Apricot

Delosperma rogersii 'Mulberry Mini Apricot'

Cold Tolerance: Zone 7b 8a 9a 9b-11

Height: 3 x 6 inch spread
Water: Dry-Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Early Fall to Late Summer to Middle Summer
Common Uses:Jar-Gems"""""""" TM, Container, Garden Railroads, Houseplants, Miniature/Faery Garden

We found this midget apricot version of ""Mini Yellow"" and now it's your's (well if you order it and send the bucks.) Apricot, star shaped flowers never seem to stop on this mounding succulent. Durable enough for alpine trough gardens because ""Jar Gems"" not only forgive you, they love neglect!

Ice Plant, M & Mini Purple

Delosperma rogersii 'Mulberry Mini Apricot' X D. eckloius 'P

Cold Tolerance: Zone 7b 8a 9a 9b-11
Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun

Water: Dry-Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Early Fall to Early Summer to Late Summer to Middle Summer
Common Uses:Jar-Gems"""""""" TM, Container, Garden Railroads, Groundcover, Miniature/Faery Garden

Chalk up another Mulberry Creek introduction. This one has the purple flowers of ""Palmiest Bridge"" with the compact, slightly fuzzy, succulent leaves of ""Mini Yellow"". Although these are not winter hardy for us, they flower all eyar around, through the long winter in the greenhouse and our home. Just fun!

Ice Plant, M & Mini Sunshine

Delosperma rogersii 'Mulberry Mini Sunshine'

Cold Tolerance: Zone 7b 8a 9a 9b-11
Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun
Height: 3 x 6 inch spread
Water: Dry-Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Early Fall to Early Summer to Late Summer to Middle Summer
Common Uses:Jar-Gems"""""""" TM, Borders, Garden Railroads, Groundcover, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental

We selected this seedling because of its slighty larger and distinctly brighter yellow flowers than ""Ice Plant, Mini Yellow."" Same tight little mound with flowers that stop blooming only when it is overwatered. Sounds like a ""Jar Gem"" to me.

Jade, Tiny Bush

Monanthus subcrassicaulis

Cold Tolerance: Zone 8a 9a 9b-11
Light: Sun-P.Sun to P-Shade
Height: 4in. x 12
Water: Dry-Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Middle Summer
Common Uses:Jar-Gems"""""""" TM, Container, Garden Railroads, Houseplants, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental

Dark green, also black, 1/4 inch, miniature, ""pickle"" leaves form small bushes and are a great contrast in color next to ""Aeonium Variegated"" in your strawberry jar or shrub in a mini landscape.

Knawel Cushion

Scleranthus biflorus ssp.uniflorus

Cold Tolerance: Zone 6b 7a 7b 8a 9a 9b-11
Light: Full Sun to P.Sun
Height: 1in. x 12in. wide
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy
Flowers: Early Summer
Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Garden Railroads, Groundcover, Miniature/Faery Garden, Walk About

Designing miniature gardens always requires a groundcover and none hugs the soil lower. Consider these packed, moss like cushions that resemble a shrunken ""Irish Moss,"" but are far more tolerant of sunny and dry conditions. Has nearly invisible white flowers in early summer. Transforms into hay colored mounds each winter. This will grow almost anywhere, under any condition. Try it with ""Lady's Mantle, Alpine"" like a miniature rhubarb and ""Moujean Tea"" & ""Myrtle, Variegated"" (as trees).

After the incredible response for ôHeart-Leaf Apple,ö Mr. Johnson came by with this, which ended up just as popular. Whoever's responsible for these 3 introductions - Thanks!. Combine with ôMarble Ruffles Cuban Oreganoö for theultimate low maintenance basket.

""Thanks for the Memories""The real thing! Stunning full white variegation. Highly ornamental, feathery, light leaaves with greamy white streaks and a touch of green. Beautiful blue buds enliven our summers. Folige will revert to more green, which should be removed. Tolerates morning shade, but flowers will become more whitish and is an O.K. house plant in a sunny window. Named in honor of an remarkable lady, whom we had the pleasure of meeting in 2000, Linda Ligon, founding editor of the ""Herb Companion"" magazine.
