A kitchen essential and a beautiful garden plant, it repels pests, attracts pollinators, and delivers dependable harvests season after season.

• Container & Garden Ready: Thrives as a potted plant or in herb borders, rock gardens, and low hedges.

Growing Guide

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly pinch developing plants to encourage bushiness. Direct sow 2–3 weeks before the last frost in well-drained soil. Keep moist until germination. Harvest leaves at any point once established — use fresh, dry, or freeze in an airtight container.
