Mulberry Creek Herb Farm

Sorrel, Blood

Rumex sanquineus ssp. sanguineus
We thought you'd enjoy its blood red veins that run throughout the emerald green leaves for a welcome contrast to all our green herbs. Please tell your garden visitors where you got it. They will ask! Flowers the second year. A tangy salad green along with ""Pepper Basil."" This has become a popular pond plant.

Sorrel, Flower Free

Rumex acetosa 'Sterile'
All the great tasting leaves and uses as ""Garden Sorrel"", without the ""weedy"" seeds. In fact, it makes no flower stalks at all. This allows it to put all of its energy into producing an abundance of great tasting leaves. Introduced to us by Richters in Canada.

Tansy, Curly Fern-leaf

Tanacetum vulgare 'Crispum'
Rich emerald green, “70's tuxedo ruffled” leaves make perfect additions to the foundation planting. Also wards off critters as does the species “Tansy” along with the same bright yellow, button flower heads.

Thyme, Creeping Lemon

Thymus herba-barona
Release a rich lemon scent with every step from this little creeper. Planted between stepping stones, you'll do just that. This is a type of ""Caraway Thyme"" without any hint of caraway, just pure lemons.

Thyme, Elfin

Thymus serphyum `Elfin'
Pink flowers adorn this truly diminutive groundcover thyme in summer. We use it as a moss substitute in bonsais. Essential to any hypertufa container or rock garden. Spreads slowly, after many years, it ends up 18”-24” wide, eventually reaching a dizzying height of 3 inches. It mounds as though there was an elf’s home underneath. Compare with ""True Elfin."" Order early!

Thyme, English Miniature

Thymus vulgaris 'Miniature'
Previously called ""Nitidus Thyme,"" we realized miniature was more descriptive. White flowers open up in summer on this tiny gem. Has all the same great flavor and uses as ""English Thyme"" except that less can be harvested and it's foliage is completely different. Great for bonsai, hypertufa pots, rock garden and mixed containers.

Thyme, English Variegated

Thymus 'EnglishVariegated'
This antique variety once common in the trade, was edged out after “English Wedgewood” was discovered. One of our “Wedgewoods” reverted back to a parent creating a splish-splash variegation, that holds through summer’s heat. We’re proud to be one of the few nurseries to re-introduce this unique and tasty plant. Puts up with shade, but flavor’s always better in full sun.

Thyme, Pink Chintz

Thymus praecox 'Pink Chintz'
Not quite as fuzy as ""Woolly Thyme"" but not as fussy, this hardworking goundcover puts on a dotted display of steady pink, beginning late spring and handles steady foot traffic.

Thyme, Provencal

Thymus vulgaris 'Provenca'
""Thanks for the Memories""Don't just look at it! Smell it! Taste it! At our HerbFair both author Susan Belsinger and culinary instructor Lynn Nelson of ""The Provincal Kitchen"", absolutely fell in love with this variety. So will you. The flavor's strong, but balanced for any Italian or French cooking. Very nice blue-gray color too!

Thyme, Rose-scented

Thymus X 'Rose-Scented'
I confess. Occasionally I found out about Mark's new finds when I edit the catalog. His description inspired me to hunt it down and you know it is distinctly ""English Rose"" scented with larger foliage for kitchen prep east. Forms a delicious blue-green, fast spreading carpet for in between stepping stones, under Ebony Wonder Basil, or in rockeries... anywhere, it makes scents!

Sedum, Blue Rosette Mini

Sedum 'pachyclados'
Rosette of powder blue leaves that remind us of the ""Moss Saxifrages,"" partner well with rosy-peach, summer flowers. Leaves are tightly packed on top of one another, forming bonsai- like pads. Sedums are the queen of all ""Jar Gem"" TM or rockeries. ""Arrowhead Alpine"" reports that this one is from Pakistan.

Sedum, Japanese Golden

Sedum makinoi 'Ogon'
Sedum ""Voodoo"" and this rare cultivar inspired our Jar Gem series, that is, plants perfectly suited to the cramped quarters and dry, severe conditions of strawberry jars. You can't find this brilliant, yellow creeper from Japan in many catalogs. Lastly leaves are tasty as a ""micro-green"" salad addition

Serissa Snowrose, Cherry Blossom

Serissa foetida 'Cherry Blossom'
Instead of the loud, varigated leaves of ""Pink Mountain"", this foliage is delicately edged in white with strong, single pink flowers. Natural miniature tree that does not like to dry out.

Serissa Snowrose, Pink Mountain

Serissa foetida 'Pink Mountain'
A striking, variegated leaved miniature pink magnolia tree! Doesn't bloom as freely as ""Cherry Blossom"" but I have to admit, it does not need flowers to charm visitors. Like ""Cherry Blossom"", it prefers temperatures above 60 degrees (although a light freeze is okay) and does not like to dry out. Still, it is a great bonsai and miniature landscape tree.

Serissa Snowrose, Yatsubusa

Serissa foetida 'Yatsubusa'
Leaves are larger than 'Kyoto' and rounded, but are stacked on top of one another. Has a very cool, miniature Dr. Seuss tree look about it.

Star Creeper, Country Park

Pratia pendunculata 'Country Park'
Same as ""Baby Blue"" albeit dark blue flowers. Star creepers are a dream come true for all you folks looking for plants to tuch in between stepping stones or rocks in the shade.

Thrift, Red Faerie

Armeria caespitosa 'Bevan's'
Actually it is more of a dark pine heading toward red, but, trust me, the flowers' hue is intense. In all other respects, it is very similar to ""Faerie"".

Thrift, Variegated

Armeria x 'Nifty Thrifty'
Leaves are generally larger than ""Faerie Thrift"" and golden with a green stripe down the center. Even in cooler climates, you can not miss the dark pink flowers by June through Labr Day and beyond. On a miniature scale, it would be viewed as a large, mounded ornamental grass.

Sedum, Golden Angeline

Sedum ruprestes 'Angelina' PPAF
Bright yellow, 1/2"" long, soft needles contrast well with Sedum 'Voodoo', 'Love's Triangle' or 'Frosted Blue'.

Sct. Geranium, Old Spice

Pelargonium x fragrans 'Logees' Old Spice'
Fruit & Nut ScentedRemember dad and all those Old Spice colognes he's collected during Christmas' past with this similar smelling, obedient geranium. It's a bit more silvery and crinkled than ""Nutmeg,"" and makes a ""more perfect"" mound, but like it's cousin, flowers all summer long... more perfect- is that like more pregnant?

Tarragon, Mexican

Tagetes lucida
Talk about an identity crisis. Flowers like a marigolds (no coincidence, it is one) with narrow dark green leaves like penstemon and smells ;amp; tastes like French Tarragon. Overwintered indoors, it is a good substitute for tarragon.Outdoors, it's easier to grow, harvest and use. Forms an upright bright green bush which makes a fine small hedge in southern climates. It drinks up the water especially in containers!!!

Tomatoes- Beefsteak type, BRANDYWINE*

(78 days)-Voted best tasting tomato ever (Organic Gardening). Heirlooms, to the best of our knowledge, are marked with an * asterisk. Attention California Residents
