Biennial Herbs

Here you’ll find seeds for open‑pollinated, aromatic and versatile biennial herbs that grow vigorously in their first year and develop their full leaf, flower or seed quality in the second. They are ideal for anyone who values robust plants, abundant harvests and traditional herb species. Biennial herbs are easy to care for, winter‑hardy and can be cultivated flexibly in the garden, raised bed or on the balcony – perfect for stable herb stands, continuous harvests and a natural enrichment of mixed‑crop systems across two seasons.
