Achillea. Today it is widespread across the entire Northern Hemisphere and has inhabited open, sunny habitats such as meadows, pastures, dry grasslands, fallow land, and roadsides for thousands of years.

Its flowers and leaves contain aromatic essential oils and bitter compounds and have long been used in European herbalism and folk traditions. As a culinary herb, it adds a spicy note to salads, herb butter, and wild‑herb mixtures. Its aromatic scent also makes it popular in herbal pillows, fragrance blends, and incense. In addition, it is used in traditional herbal wines and bitter preparations, serves as a flavourful ingredient in wild‑herb salts, and is suitable for drying for scented bouquets, potpourris, and decorative herb bundles.

Thanks to its robustness and longevity, it is excellent for naturalistic, low‑maintenance gardens. It is also highly tolerant of cutting and regenerates quickly after pruning.

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLovage is a very old perennial medicinal and culinary herb. Botanically, it originates from the mountainous regions of Afghanistan and Iran, where the wild form is native to temperate, montane habitats. From there, the plant reached the Mediterranean region via early trade routes and was already cultivated in antiquity by the Greeks and Romans as a medicinal and culinary herb. The name “lovage” derives from the Latin \u003cem\u003elevisticum\u003c\/em\u003e, historically associated with Liguria, although the species is not native there. In everyday language it is called “Maggikraut” because its intense aroma resembles the well‑known seasoning. It belongs to the carrot family (Apiaceae), the subfamily Apioideae, and is the only species in the genus \u003cem\u003eLevisticum\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the early Middle Ages, Lovage spread through monastic and farmhouse gardens across Europe and became a staple of traditional European herbal and medicinal plant culture. Its digestive and diuretic properties made it a valued medicinal herb and a versatile natural remedy. Owing to its long history of use, its characteristic celery‑like aroma and its robust, long‑lived nature, lovage remains one of the most important traditional medicinal and culinary herbs of Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e  Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is perennial and herbaceous, forming strong, upright, hollow stems with large, dark green, pinnate leaves.

Its leaves, roots and seeds contain essential oils and have traditionally been used for digestive discomfort. As a tea, it has a soothing effect on the stomach and intestines. The roots are also used to make tinctures and liqueurs. In addition, it enhances herb butter, seasoning oils, vegetable dishes and fillings, adds flavour to pickled vegetables and ferments, and is suitable for drying, freezing and herb salts. The seeds are used as a spice for bread, meat dishes and spirits, and the leaves serve in the kitchen as an intense natural substitute for Maggi seasoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows reliably in open ground and in large containers. Lovage is perennial, persistent and winter‑hardy, showing great robustness and high yields. Its flowers attract numerous beneficial insects such as bees and hoverflies. Leaves can be harvested continuously, and roots from the second year onward. Waterlogging should be avoided. Thanks to its strong taproot, it is particularly drought‑tolerant once established and easily withstands cooler summers. It reliably resprouts each spring, grows quickly and forms stable, vigorous clumps for many years.

Its natural distribution ranges from Europe across Western Asia to North Africa and further to Japan. Botanically, the plant belongs to the family Brassicaceae, the subfamily Brassicoideae and the genus \u003cem\u003eBarbarea\u003c\/em\u003e. It corresponds to the historical wild form that has persisted over long periods without targeted breeding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe name “wintercress” refers to Saint Barbara, whose feast day falls on 4 December – a time when the winter‑green rosette provides fresh foliage. As early as medieval herbals, the plant was mentioned as a reliable winter green. In the monastic gardens of Central Europe it was cultivated as a winter vegetable and medicinal herb, as it provides vitamin‑rich leaves even in frost and was regarded in folk medicine as purifying and strengthening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the expansion of agriculture, wintercress spread far beyond its original range, became native throughout Europe and later reached North America, where it established itself as a robust, winter‑green wild plant. For centuries it remained an important medicinal, culinary and winter vegetable, characterised by its high vitamin C content and aromatic mustard oils. To this day, the wild form of \u003cem\u003eBarbarea vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e is regarded as the classic traditional winter cress with an unchanged historical character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is biennial and herbaceous.

The plant also develops its full flavour in fillings, pan dishes or as a fresh topping. The young buds can be pickled like capers, and the leaves can be dried or frozen for herb blends. Traditionally, winter cress was valued for its mustard oils and vitamin C content and used for spring fatigue, blood cleansing and skin irritations.

The plant is easy to care for, winter‑hardy and harvestable over many months. Its flowers attract numerous beneficial insects, and thanks to its robust nature it continues to grow steadily even in less ideal soils, regenerates well after cutting and thus remains usable for a long time. The long‑lived, winter‑green rosette is excellent for winter beds and naturalistic gardens and shows a high tolerance to frost and fluctuating weather conditions. In addition, winter cress germinates reliably, tolerates temporary waterlogging better than many other herbs and remains vigorous even in partial shade. The rosette provides fresh foliage even in winter, and the plant is slow to bolt, which allows for a long harvest period.

Its original range extends from Europe through western to central Asia. Today it is cultivated in many regions of northern and eastern Africa as well as in temperate and subtropical climates worldwide, and in some of these areas it can also be found naturalised. It prefers clear, cool, flowing water and grows at springs, streams, ditches and moist sites, where it thrives partly fully submerged and partly on muddy banks. It is considered an indicator plant for clean, clear running waters. The name “Brunnenkresse” derives from the Middle High German \u003cem\u003ebrunne\u003c\/em\u003e for spring or spring water and refers to its typical habitat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe true watercress is among the oldest documented European wild vegetables and was already valued in antiquity as both a medicinal and food plant. Its high vitamin C content made it an important herb against deficiency symptoms. Its close association with flowing, “living” water and its invigorating properties made it a symbolic plant in herbal medicine, representing clarity, purification and vitality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the Middle Ages it remained a cherished spring herb in monastic gardens, where it was cultivated for its cleansing and strengthening effects. Its peppery‑sharp flavour is based on mustard oils, which have given it a firm place in traditional European cuisine and folk medicine for centuries. Thanks to its wide distribution and long history of use, the true watercress is still regarded today as one of the most important traditional medicinal and vegetable plants of Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e  Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eperennial \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eherbaceous, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egrowing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efrom \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecreeping \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eupright. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eforms \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehollow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estems \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edark \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egreen, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eimparipinnate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esmall \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhite \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflowers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eappear \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efrom \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMay \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeptember \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eloose \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eracemes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eare \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epollinated \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eby \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einsects. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshoots \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eroot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eat \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enodes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eform \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edense \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emats. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003especies \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003earound \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e–15 °C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Low, 10–40 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creeping to upright, strongly branched\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Imparipinnate, fleshy, dark green\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e White, in racemes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peppery‑sharp, savory, fresh, aromatic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"91\" width=\"75\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Usage_Cultivation_Highlights_-_Verwendung_Anbau-Higlights_-_Utilizacao_e_Destaques_do_Cultivo_-_www.benjis.net_2f09de09-588a-47b6-ae70-802633c65d50.jpg?v=1763065990\" \u003e  Usage \u0026amp; Cultivation Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrue watercress is ideal for salads, soups, smoothies, sandwiches, herb pastes and as a fresh garnish.

Its natural range includes moist meadows, floodplains, woodland edges and extensively grazed pastures in temperate climates. Early on it was valued as a refreshing spring herb whose lemony‑sour leaves provided important vitamins after winter. Botanically, it belongs to the knotweed family (Polygonaceae), subfamily Polygonoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eRumex\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe earliest known mention of sorrel appears around 812 AD in the \u003cem\u003eCapitulare de villis\u003c\/em\u003e, a Carolingian estate ordinance listing it as a useful kitchen herb for monastic and manor gardens. In the 12th century, Hildegard of Bingen described sorrel as a cooling, cleansing herb that “clarifies the body’s juices”. Renaissance herbals, including the \u003cem\u003eNew Kreüterbuch\u003c\/em\u003e of 1543, refer to it as a refreshing leafy vegetable and a component of spring soups, appreciated for its invigorating qualities and high vitamin C content.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn European folk cuisine, sorrel served for centuries as an important spring vegetable, especially in regions with long winters. In France it became a staple of classical cooking, particularly in the traditional \u003cem\u003esoupe à l’oseille\u003c\/em\u003e. In folk medicine it was used as a mild digestive herb, a cooling remedy for sensations of heat and as an ingredient in herbal teas. Its leaves were incorporated into spring tonics, herbal pastes and strengthening soups, while the root was occasionally used for extracts and tinctures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the rise of naturalistic gardening and self‑sufficiency in the 20th century, sorrel regained importance.

In traditional cuisine it is used for creamy sorrel soups, herb fillings, fish dishes and fresh herb pastes. The leaves dry or freeze well and retain their flavour. Sorrel also refines herb oils, vinegars and light marinades, works wonderfully in cold summer sauces, herb quark and fresh spreads, and adds a fine lemony freshness to vegetable sautés, risottos and stews.

It also thrives reliably in large containers, producing aromatic leaves for years. Sorrel is among the first fresh leafy vegetables of the year, sprouting very early in spring and often remaining evergreen in mild winters.

The extremely vitamin-rich species forms round to heart-shaped leaves and grows from loose rosettes. The cress-like leaves have a spicy and hot taste and can be harvested well into winter. In medicine it is highly valued for its blood and wound-cleansing, hemostatic and digestive properties.

Its original range lies in the sunny, dry regions of southern and eastern Europe and western Asia. Botanically, hyssop belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae), subfamily Nepetoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eHyssopus\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe earliest written reference dates to the 1st century CE, when Pedanius Dioscorides described hyssop in \u003cem\u003eDe materia medica\u003c\/em\u003e around 60 CE as a warming, expectorant and aromatic medicinal herb. Shortly afterwards, Pliny the Elder mentioned it in \u003cem\u003eNaturalis historia\u003c\/em\u003e as a digestive and cleansing culinary herb. In Greco‑Roman medicine, hyssop was used for respiratory and digestive complaints, and externally for washes and poultices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the rise of monastic culture, hyssop entered Central European apothecary gardens early on. Medieval herbals list it as a strengthening and cleansing herb for teas, bitters, herbal wines and incense. In folk medicine it remained a trusted remedy for colds, bronchial issues and loss of appetite; its aromatic shoots were used in tinctures, salves and rubs. At the same time, hyssop became an important fragrant and ritual plant. Flowering stems were used across Europe in herbal bundles and household charms to cleanse and scent rooms. In the early modern period, its spicy‑bitter aroma shaped bitters, digestive elixirs and herbal wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, hyssop remains a versatile Mediterranean culinary and medicinal herb with strong cultural significance. Its essential oils, bitter compounds and tannins are valued in cooking, home remedies and herbal craft, while its nectar‑rich flowers play an important role for wild bees and other pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is perennial, forming upright, bushy stems and becoming woody at the base.

The edible flowers serve as decorative elements in salads and herb dishes. Hyssop also refines herbal vinegars, digestive bitters, cough syrups and herbal wines, flavours honey and suits fillings, vegetable pans and savoury baked goods.

It tolerates heat, drought and full sun, making it excellent for naturalistic gardens, prairie plantings, herb spirals and rock gardens. It remains upright for many years, becomes reliably woody at the base, is slug‑resistant and winter hardy, forms compact, long‑lived clumps and shows stable vitality even in windy, nutrient‑poor sites. Its dense, aromatic foliage naturally deters pests, while the long flowering period provides pollinators with forage for weeks.

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe red‑veined dock (\u003cem\u003eRumex sanguineus\u003c\/em\u003e) is a traditional wild and leafy vegetable of Europe and Western Asia. Its natural range includes moist meadows, stream banks, light woodlands and extensively managed grasslands in temperate climates. Early on it was valued as a mild, refreshing spring herb whose red‑veined leaves stood out not only for their flavour but also for their striking appearance. Botanically, it belongs to the knotweed family (Polygonaceae), subfamily Polygonoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eRumex\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe earliest known mention of red‑veined dock appears in 1588 in Jacques Daléchamps’ \u003cem\u003eHistoria Generalis Plantarum\u003c\/em\u003e, where \u003cem\u003eRumex sanguineus\u003c\/em\u003e is described as a distinct wild plant with its characteristic red‑veined foliage. In the following centuries it appears in additional European herbals, including English and Dutch works of the 17th century, where it is listed as “red‑veined sorrel” or “roodaderzuring”. These early sources highlight both its ornamental qualities and its milder, pleasantly sour taste, which distinguishes it from other sorrel species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn folk cuisine, red‑veined dock was primarily used as a tender spring herb, adding a fine acidity to soups, herbal porridges and fresh herb mixtures. In some regions its red‑veined leaves were seen as a symbol of vitality and were traditionally included in spring tonics. In traditional herbal practice it served as a mild digestive herb, a cooling plant for sensations of heat and as an ingredient in simple herbal teas. In Eastern European and Caucasian regions it was occasionally used to support blood purification and as a mineral‑rich early‑season green.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the rise of naturalistic gardening and the renewed appreciation of native wild plants in the 20th century, red‑veined dock gained fresh significance. It became valued not only as a useful edible but also as a decorative perennial combining ornamental and culinary qualities. Today it is considered an important wild perennial for ecological gardens — robust, long‑lived and harvestable early in the year. Its decorative appearance, high tolerance to frequent cutting and mild, pleasantly sour flavour make it a versatile and tradition‑rich culinary herb.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e  Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eperennial \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eclump‑forming, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeveloping \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edense \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erosette \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eof \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eelongated, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ered‑veined \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003espring \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eproduces \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eupright, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereddish‑green \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflower \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estalks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRed‑veined \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esorrel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eforms \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshallow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emoderately \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeep \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eroot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esystem \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewinter‑hardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edown \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eabout \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e–15 °C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium, 30–50 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous, rosette‑shaped, clump‑forming, with upright flowering stems\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elongated, green with striking red veins, 15–25 cm long\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reddish‑green, loosely paniculate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mildly sour, fresh, lightly lemony\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"91\" width=\"75\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Usage_Cultivation_Highlights_-_Verwendung_Anbau-Higlights_-_Utilizacao_e_Destaques_do_Cultivo_-_www.benjis.net_2f09de09-588a-47b6-ae70-802633c65d50.jpg?v=1763065990\" \u003e  Usage \u0026amp; Cultivation Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRed‑veined dock is excellent for salads, herb butter, pestos, soups, sauces, smoothies and fresh spring dishes.

In modern cuisine it is used in herb blends, green sauces, light vegetable dishes and as a decorative element on plates. The leaves freeze well or can be gently dried, retaining part of their aroma. Red‑veined sorrel also enhances herb oils, vinegars, marinades, herb quark and spreads, and adds a clear, refreshing note to drinks such as herbal lemonades or green juices. Dried leaves are suitable for tea blends, while finely chopped sorrel enriches herb salts, spice mixes and light fillings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the garden, red‑veined dock impresses with its robustness, vitality and high tolerance to frequent cutting. It grows reliably in beds, herb spirals, natural gardens and moist locations. Its clump‑forming growth ensures strong regeneration after each harvest, and it remains vigorous even in partial shade. The plant is easy to care for, regenerates quickly and provides fresh leafy greens over many months. It supports biodiversity, pairs well with other wild and cultivated plants and is ideal for ecological self‑sufficiency. It also thrives reliably in larger containers, producing aromatic leaves for years. Red‑veined sorrel is among the first fresh leafy vegetables of the year, sprouting very early in spring and remaining partially evergreen in mild winters. It is largely disease‑resistant, copes well with fluctuating rainfall and stabilises the soil with its root system.

Originally, it was widespread in the Alps, the Pyrenees, and the low mountain ranges of Central Europe, where it grew on nitrogen-rich soils near villages and pastures. Already in the Middle Ages it was valued as both a vegetable and a medicinal plant, appearing in herbals of the 15th and 16th centuries as an important food source. Its leaves were regarded as a vitamin-rich addition to winter diets, while the young shoots and flower clusters were prepared as vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp until the 17th century, Good King Henry was common in cottage gardens and cultivated as “poor man’s spinach,” since it reliably sprouted every spring and could be harvested for many years. With the rise of annual cultivated spinach (\u003cem\u003eSpinacia oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e), however, it lost importance and was increasingly displaced. In rural regions it survived as a traditional plant, passed down through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is distinguished by its perennial growth and exceptional hardiness, setting it apart from modern spinach varieties. It develops strong taproots, sprouts anew each spring, and provides a continuous supply of fresh leaves.

Today, Good King Henry is considered a rare and marginalized variety, preserved as cultural heritage by gardeners and initiatives dedicated to old vegetable species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows herbaceous and reaches a height of about 80 cm.

Its original range covers nearly all of Europe, the Mediterranean region, and parts of Western Asia, where it primarily grows in open meadows, along roadsides, and on extensively managed grasslands. Botanically, the species belongs to the family Asteraceae, the subfamily Asteroideae, and the genus Bellis. The name Bellis derives from the Latin bellus (“beautiful”), while perennis (“perennial”) refers to the long‑lived growth habit of the wild form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe earliest mention appears in the writings of Pliny the Elder in the 1st century AD, who described the daisy as a medicinal plant used for wounds and skin injuries. Dioscorides also included it in De materia medica, documenting its continuous medicinal use since antiquity. In medieval herbals, Bellis perennis is regularly listed as a remedy for bruises, swelling, and skin irritation, and it was cultivated in monastic gardens as a robust and easily accessible medicinal plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the centuries, the wild form spread far beyond its original range through natural dispersal and human use. It became native throughout Europe and was later introduced to North America, Australia, and New Zealand, where it established quickly thanks to its high adaptability. Its flowers, which open in sunlight and close in rain or darkness, are considered a classic example of nyctinasty and shaped its symbolic meaning as a plant of light and purity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDue to its long history of use, its resilience, and its content of secondary plant compounds such as saponins, flavonoids, and tannins, the wild form of Bellis perennis remains one of the most important traditional medicinal plants in Europe. The common daisy forms the genetic foundation of all later cultivated varieties and continues to be the most ecologically valuable and widespread form of the species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eperennial \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eherbaceous, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eforming \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erosettes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003espatulate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003espoon-shaped, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eslightly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehairy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhite \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eray \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflorets \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eyellow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecenter \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eappear \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efrom \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003espring \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethrough \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eautumn. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBellis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eperennis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edevelops \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshort, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecreeping \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erhizomes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efine \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eroots. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003especies \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewinter-hardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etolerates \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etemperatures \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edown \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eapproximately \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e−30 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e°C, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edepending \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eon \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Low, 5–15 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosette-forming, flat, compact\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spatulate to spoon-shaped, slightly hairy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e White with a yellow center, capitulate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mildly nutty, slightly bitter, aromatic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"91\" width=\"75\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Usage_Cultivation_Highlights_-_Verwendung_Anbau-Higlights_-_Utilizacao_e_Destaques_do_Cultivo_-_www.benjis.net_2f09de09-588a-47b6-ae70-802633c65d50.jpg?v=1763065990\" \u003e  Usage \u0026amp; Cultivation Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommon daisy is ideal for salads, edible decoration, tea, natural cosmetics, and traditional herbal applications. Its anti-inflammatory compounds have long been used for skin issues, bruises, coughs, and digestive discomfort. Applied externally, it soothes irritated skin and supports wound healing. The flowers enhance salads, herb spreads, soups, smoothies, and wild herb blends. In herbal medicine, they are used to strengthen the immune system, support recovery from colds, and promote gentle detoxification. Fresh flowers serve as an aromatic ingredient in herb butter, pestos, and floral vinegars, while the buds are pickled as the “capers of the North.” In natural cosmetics, flower extracts form the basis of nourishing oils, salves, and washes. Syrups, honey infusions, herbal baths, and compresses traditionally support the respiratory system, skin regeneration, and metabolism, making the plant a versatile component of spring tonics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommon daisy grows reliably outdoors and in containers. The plant is low-maintenance, winter-hardy, and can be harvested for many years. Its flowers attract numerous beneficial insects such as bees and bumblebees, supporting ecological balance in the garden. Thanks to its robust nature, it continues to thrive even in less-than-ideal soils, regenerates quickly after each cut, and allows multiple harvests. It forms long-lived clumps and is well suited for lawns, pathways, and naturalistic gardens. Overall, it shows strong tolerance to dry periods and fluctuating weather conditions. The wild form thrives in full sun or partial shade and performs well in nutrient-poor, compacted, or slightly acidic soils. It is resilient enough to withstand foot traffic in meadows and lawns and spreads reliably through short rhizomes and self-seeding without becoming invasive. With its early flowering period, it provides an important food source for pollinators in early spring and extends the garden’s blooming season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared to other wildflowers, common daisy is a classic traditional medicinal plant with delicate ornamental blooms, ideal for those who appreciate low-maintenance, perennial wild herbs that offer high ecological value for insects.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/tc\u003e","brand":"Benjis Seeds","offers":[{"title":"0.25g - 800 seeds","offer_id":44066107392319,"sku":"","price":2.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Gaensebluemchen-Bellisperennis-www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1780051384"},{"product_id":"wild-arugula","title":"Wild Arugula [Diplotaxis tenuifolia]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe perennial wild a\u003cspan\u003erugula \u003c\/span\u003eis a hardy Mediterranean wild salad and spice plant.

Wild rocket is a pioneer plant and the original form of the well-known rocket as we know it today. The plant has narrow, serrated leaves and an intensely spicy aroma with a cress and walnut-like taste. The plant has a strong tendency to self-seed, so that it repeatedly forms larger stocks.

From there it spread across Europe. The orange‑flowered cultivated form known today arose from Mediterranean wild populations and was already described as a medicinal plant in antiquity. Dioscorides and Pliny mentioned its use for skin ailments, and its bright blooms were early on used as a dye and as a saffron substitute. The name “Calendula” refers to its long flowering period. It belongs to the family Asteraceae, the subfamily Asteroideae and the genus \u003cem\u003eCalendula\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Middle Ages it was a fixed component of monastic gardens; Hildegard of Bingen called Common Marigold “Ringula”. Its flowers were used medicinally and for colouring food and textiles. During this period, the first deliberately maintained cultivated forms emerged, with larger and more intensely coloured blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the 16th to the 19th century Common Marigold spread as an important medicinal and garden plant throughout Europe. The classic orange form was selected over generations for its colour, floriferousness and reliable seed production. Its anti‑inflammatory and wound‑healing properties are based on triterpene saponins, flavonoids and essential oils. To this day, the orange marigold remains a key plant for natural gardens, medicinal‑herb cultivation and natural cosmetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is annual and herbaceous, forming upright, branched stems with elongated‑oval, slightly hairy leaves.

Its anti‑inflammatory and wound‑healing properties have traditionally been used for skin irritations, minor wounds, eczema and dry skin. Applied externally, it soothes sensitive skin and supports regeneration. The petals refine salads, soups, rice dishes and baked goods, serve as a natural colouring agent and are used in natural cosmetics for creams, soaps and facial tonics. In herbal medicine it supports wound healing, acts against inflammation and gently cares for the skin. The flowers are also used in baths, compresses and oil infusions for massage and care oils, as well as for colouring vinegars, oils and herb salts. Dried flowers are suitable for incense and fragrance blends and serve in the kitchen as a plant‑based alternative to saffron.

Thanks to its robust nature it continues to grow well even in less‑than‑ideal soils, self‑seeds and is excellent for flowering strips, natural gardens and green manures. It is also highly tolerant of drought and fluctuating weather conditions. With its rapid development it reliably suppresses weeds, improves soil structure and is well suited to crop rotations and mixed cultivation.

It has been part of the European flora since antiquity, favouring light woodlands, woodland edges, hedgerows and humus‑rich, semi‑shaded sites. Its hooked aggregate achenes cling to animal fur, enabling its wide natural dispersal along wildlife corridors. Botanically, it belongs to the family Rosaceae, subfamily Rosoideae, genus \u003cem\u003eGeum\u003c\/em\u003e.**\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWood Avens is mentioned in the 9th‑century Carolingian “Capitulare de villis”, where it appears as an important medicinal and culinary plant for monastic and royal gardens. In the 11th century it reappears in the widely circulated medieval herbal “Macer floridus”, which describes its aromatic root and strengthening properties. Hildegard of Bingen refers to it in the 12th century as a warming, fortifying plant that “strengthens heart and stomach”. In the early modern period it is listed in European herbals such as those of Pietro Andrea Mattioli (1554) and John Gerard (1597) as a proven medicinal and aromatic herb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHistorically, the root of Wood Avens was valued for its intense clove‑like scent — an aroma produced by its eugenol content. It was used to flavour beer, wine and food, and in folk medicine it was regarded as warming, strengthening, digestive and mildly antiseptic. In traditional herbal practice it was used for digestive and intestinal complaints, mouth and throat inflammations, fever, exhaustion and for strengthening during convalescence. The dried root was incorporated into tea blends, tinctures and bitter preparations, while the leaves served as a mild wild vegetable. In incense traditions it was used as a cleansing herb with a warm, aromatic fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, Wood Avens remains a valued wild perennial in naturalistic plantings, woodland gardens and herb beds.

It complements meat and braised dishes, stews, soups, sauces, fish, poultry, and vegetables, and pairs especially well with potatoes, tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines, and pulses. Its delicate aroma enhances vinegar, oil, marinades, grilling blends, herb mixes, herb butter, dips, and savoury baked goods. When dried, its flavour remains intact and enriches roasts, ragouts, pasta sauces, pizza, herb oils, herb salts, and oven dishes. It elevates mushroom dishes, risotto, lamb and game dishes, pickled vegetables, infused honey, breads and pastries, fillings, and savoury pancakes. In food preservation, it is used to flavour smoked goods, infused oils, and savoury pastes. In beverages, it adds distinctive notes to herbal teas, infusions, lemonades, and syrups. Its flowers are edible and decorate salads, desserts, and herb platters. Historically, creeping thyme was used in teas, infusions, inhalations, incense, herbal baths, and compresses, and found its place in scented cushions, herb bundles, and aromatic household blends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreeping thyme grows reliably and low‑creeping in open ground, raised beds, rock gardens, herb spirals, green roofs, and containers on balconies and terraces. It is extremely easy to care for, winter‑hardy, and provides aromatic foliage throughout the season. It thrives particularly well in sunny, dry locations and copes with poor, stony soils as well as nutrient‑poor potting mixes. The plant remains low, responds very well to pruning, and regenerates quickly. Thanks to its robust nature, creeping thyme is ideal for urban gardening, lean substrates, and exposed sites. Its dense growth suppresses weeds and stabilises light soils on slopes. As a perennial and winter‑hardy species, it is perfect for long‑term herb beds and delivers reliable harvests. Its long flowering period provides valuable food for pollinators, and as a slug‑resistant plant it enriches permaculture and nature‑friendly gardens. Creeping thyme is also walkable and releases a pleasant scent when stepped on. Its flat growth warms early in the year and starts into vegetation quickly. It is excellent for greening wall tops, joints, and dry stone walls, forming long‑lasting, tread‑resistant cushions. Its fine root structure loosens the soil, supports soil fauna, and improves substrate microstructure. In addition, creeping thyme is salt‑tolerant and ideal for locations exposed to wind, heat, and temporary drought.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared to other thyme species, creeping thyme is the ideal low‑growing groundcover with a delicate aroma – indispensable for nature‑friendly gardens, green roofs, and sunny sites, even in subtropical climates.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/tc\u003e","brand":"Benjis Seeds","offers":[{"title":"0.25g - 1500 seeds","offer_id":44082773164351,"sku":"","price":2.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/TeppichThymian-Creepingthyme-TomilhoSerpao-Thymusserpyllumhort.-www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1780051333"},{"product_id":"east-indian-lemongrass","title":"East Indian Lemongrass [Cymbopogon flexuosus]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe perennial East Indian lemongrass is a tropical aromatic, spice and medicinal plant with a special significance in medicine.

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNasturtium originates from the Andean regions of South America, where it grows in the highlands of Peru, Bolivia and Colombia. In the 16th century it reached Europe through Spanish and Dutch expeditions and quickly became popular as an ornamental and useful plant. Its edible leaves and flowers were especially valued, as well as the unripe seeds, which were pickled as “false capers.” Botanically, nasturtium belongs to the family Tropaeolaceae, subfamily Tropaeoloideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eTropaeolum\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe first known mention appears in 1569 in the writings of the Spanish chronicler Nicolás Monardes, who described nasturtium in his work on the “new plants from the Indies,” highlighting its striking flowers and culinary value. The term “Indies” at that time did not refer to present‑day India but to the so‑called “West Indies,” a historical term for the Spanish colonies in the Americas. A few decades later, nasturtium appeared in European herbals as an exotic, colorful garden plant and spread quickly due to its spicy flavor and decorative blossoms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the Baroque period it was considered an exotic curiosity; later it became established in monastic and cottage gardens as a robust, easy‑to‑grow crop. Its name refers to the shape of the flowers, which resemble the hood of Capuchin monks. Today, nasturtium is one of the most versatile ornamental and edible plants for natural gardens, balconies and self‑sufficiency beds, appreciated for its edible flowers, spicy aroma and strong attraction to pollinators.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt was also used medicinally at an early stage: in traditional South American herbal medicine, the fresh leaves were considered strengthening and cleansing, while the seeds, with their sharp aroma, were used for stimulating herbal preparations. In Europe, the plant was occasionally used in simple household remedies that relied on its peppery‑mustard‑like constituents. Its combination of culinary value, decorative appeal and natural vigor makes nasturtium one of the most popular garden plants with diverse uses to this day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e  Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eannual \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eforming \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elong, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esoft \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eherbaceous, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshoots \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethat, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edepending \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eon \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evariety, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eeither \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecreep \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ealong \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eground \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eclimb \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egiven \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esupport. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eround, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshield \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esmooth, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esucculent‑shaped \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eare \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emildly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epeppery \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflavor. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflowers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eappear \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evivid \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecolors \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eattract \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enumerous \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epollinators. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNasturtium \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewinter \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eexposed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto‑hardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edies \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eback \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eich \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eauch \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ediesen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efrost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium, 60 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous, creeping or climbing, with 100–150 cm runners\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round, shield‑shaped, juicy green\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange to orange‑red, funnel‑shaped\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spicy‑hot, peppery, mustard‑like\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"91\" width=\"75\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Usage_Cultivation_Highlights_-_Verwendung_Anbau-Higlights_-_Utilizacao_e_Destaques_do_Cultivo_-_www.benjis.net_2f09de09-588a-47b6-ae70-802633c65d50.jpg?v=1763065990\" \u003e  Usage \u0026amp; Cultivation Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNasturtium is excellent for salads, raw dishes, herb butter, spreads, edible decorations and for pickling the unripe seeds. Leaves and flowers can be used fresh or incorporated into herb oils, flower salts and decorative dishes. The blossoms add color and a fine, spicy aroma to the kitchen. Young leaves can also be processed into mildly spicy pestos, while the sharp‑aromatic seeds offer a piquant alternative to peppercorns. Nasturtium also develops its characteristic aroma in herbal vinegars, aromatic oils and fresh summer lemonades. The flowers are suitable for colorful ice cubes, flower butter and delicate herbal infusions, and the leaves can add a peppery note to light soups or briefly sautéed vegetable dishes. In natural cuisine it is often used for colorful herb blends, decorative plate arrangements and fresh wild herb dishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the garden, nasturtium impresses with rapid growth, high adaptability and its strong attraction to pollinators. It is ideal for natural gardens, mixed plantings, balcony boxes and climbing supports. As a classic “trap plant,” it attracts aphids and thus protects other crops. It thrives in sunny to partially shaded locations and grows reliably even in containers. The plant is easy to care for, regenerates quickly and provides fresh leaves and flowers over many weeks. Through self‑seeding it can establish itself permanently in suitable gardens. Its bright colors, spicy flavor and uncomplicated cultivation make it one of the most popular edible and ornamental plants for home gardeners and self‑sufficient growers. It also tolerates temporary drought surprisingly well, grows reliably in poorer soils and easily covers embankments, walls or slopes with its long shoots. In sheltered locations it forms dense, vigorous plant cushions that structure beds and suppress weeds. Even in pots it remains vigorous and provides lush, colorful vegetation in small spaces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared to many other edible and ornamental plants, nasturtium is particularly versatile, ecologically valuable and broadly useful both in the kitchen and in the garden — ideal for anyone seeking a robust, productive and beneficial garden plant.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/tc\u003e","brand":"Benjis Seeds","offers":[{"title":"4g -

There it established itself as a summer vegetable, since unlike the heat‑sensitive garden spinach (\u003cem\u003eSpinacia oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e) it thrives reliably even at high temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Europe and North America, New Zealand spinach became increasingly cultivated in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and entered kitchen gardens under names such as “Cook’s Cabbage” or “Botany Bay Greens.” It was especially valued for its high vitamin C content, making it a useful antiscorbutic for seafarers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBotanically, New Zealand Spinach belongs to the ice plant family (\u003cem\u003eAizoaceae\u003c\/em\u003e) and is not related to true spinach.

Its natural range extends across large parts of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, including Europe, Central Asia, Siberia, Mongolia and North America. The seed‑fertile wild form is widespread in these regions and is characterised by its robustness and genetic diversity. The name “tarragon” derives from the Latin \u003cem\u003edracunculus\u003c\/em\u003e (“little dragon”), referring either to its traditional use against snake bites or to its dragon‑like, twisted roots. Botanically, tarragon belongs to the family Asteraceae, the subfamily Asteroideae and the genus \u003cem\u003eArtemisia\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs early as the Middle Ages, tarragon was cultivated in Arab and Persian gardens and reached southern Europe via the Mediterranean region. In the 16th century the plant found its established place in French cuisine, where it quickly became indispensable for its fine aroma. It also played an important role in folk medicine, for example in supporting digestion and stimulating the appetite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe seed‑fertile wild forms of \u003cem\u003eArtemisia dracunculus\u003c\/em\u003e preserve the original diversity and resilience of the species to this day. They differ clearly from later‑developed cultivated forms such as French tarragon, which can only be propagated vegetatively, and Russian tarragon, which usually produces only limited fertile seed. Thanks to their natural robustness, adaptability and characteristic aroma, wild‑type tarragon lines remain valuable and versatile herbs for both kitchen and garden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerennial \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eherbaceous, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eforms \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eupright, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebranched \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estems \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enarrow, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elinear‑ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elanceolate, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edark \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egreen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esmall \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egreenish‑yellow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflowers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eappear \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esummer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eare \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einconspicuous. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edevelops \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erhizome \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunderground \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erunners \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewinter‑hardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edown \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e–25 °C. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEstablished \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplants \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereliably \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eresprout \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003espring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium, 60–100 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, bushy, strongly branched\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Narrow‑lanceolate, aromatic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greenish‑yellow, inconspicuous\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine‑spicy, anise‑like, slightly peppery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"91\" width=\"75\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Usage_Cultivation_Highlights_-_Verwendung_Anbau-Higlights_-_Utilizacao_e_Destaques_do_Cultivo_-_www.benjis.net_2f09de09-588a-47b6-ae70-802633c65d50.jpg?v=1763065990\" \u003e  Usage \u0026amp; Cultivation Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarragon is ideal for sauces, vinegar, mustard, herb butter, and fish and poultry dishes. Its fine aroma enhances classic sauces such as Béarnaise and Hollandaise, pairs beautifully with egg dishes, salads and pickled vegetables, and the fresh leaves have traditionally been used to support digestion. Tarragon is an essential herb in European cuisine and is also used for flavoured oils, herb vinegars and spice blends. It adds depth to potato and vegetable dishes, herb quark, marinades and light summer cooking. In preservation it is used for pickling cucumbers and vegetables, for aromatising vinegars and oils, and it can be dried or frozen for storage. It also plays a role in herbal medicine, for example in teas, tinctures or as part of mild digestive herb blends. Its fine leaves lend herb salts, butter variations and homemade dressings an elegant, slightly sweet‑spicy note.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarragon grows reliably in open ground, greenhouses and containers. The plant is easy to care for, winter‑hardy and can be harvested over many years. It prefers sunny sites and well‑drained, rather dry soils. Thanks to its robust nature it continues to grow well even in less‑than‑ideal soils, regenerates quickly after each cut and allows multiple harvests. It forms long‑lived clumps, is excellent for herb spirals and nature‑friendly gardens, and shows good tolerance to drought and fluctuating weather conditions. It is also resistant to many common herb diseases, copes well with temporary heat periods and remains vigorous even in poor soils. Tarragon can be easily divided or propagated by cuttings, which rejuvenates older plants and allows stocks to be expanded with little effort. With its compact, upright growth it is also suitable for smaller gardens, balconies and pot cultivation, and remains structurally stable even with regular

Pliny the Elder confirms these uses in his \u003cem\u003eNaturalis Historia\u003c\/em\u003e, calling lavender a valuable aromatic and medicinal plant for oils, salves and incense – clear evidence of its established role in everyday and healing practices of the Roman Empire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the Middle Ages, English Lavender was cultivated in monastic gardens and valued for its cleansing, soothing and protective qualities.

The flowers are also used in soothing rubs, gentle skincare oils, relaxing herbal compresses and aromatic bath additives.

Its deep taproot provides stability and makes it ideal for dry gardens and naturalistic plantings. It supports biodiversity, attracts numerous pollinators and adds a clear Mediterranean structure to beds with its fragrant flower spikes. The plant is disease‑resistant, low‑maintenance, long‑lived and highly tolerant of heat and wind. Even in fully sunny, exposed locations, lavender remains vigorous, resprouts reliably and keeps its aromatic foliage even during dry periods.

The robust plant forms egg-shaped to elongated, pointed leaves and has an inimitably strong taste. The dried herb develops its typical aroma due to the numerous essential oils.

The plant, also known as St. Mary's herb, has been cultivated in the southern regions of Europe since ancient times. In the early Middle Ages, the medicinal plant was used as a helpful remedy for fever, liver weakness and menstrual problems. In the 8th century, Charlemagne issued a law that required the cultivation of balsam herb in monastery gardens. The leaves have a pleasant, strong lemony-minty aroma and retain this scent even when dried.

Its natural distribution range lies within Europe. Thyme as a medicinal and culinary herb was already described in ancient literature by authors such as Theophrastus (4th–3rd century BC) and Dioscorides (1st century AD).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWild thyme is a native, non‑Mediterranean thyme species that prefers moderately dry to fresh meadows, semi‑dry grasslands, path edges, and open slopes. In contrast to \u003cem\u003eThymus vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e, it is adapted to cooler, temperate climates and naturally occurs in regions with higher rainfall and fresher soils.

Medieval herbals mention its use in infusions, fumigations, and compresses, often associated with warming or cleansing properties. In monastic gardens, it was considered an easy‑to‑cultivate, aromatic herb that was versatile in both cooking and traditional healing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor centuries, wild thyme remained an important wild and household remedy in Central and Northern Europe. Its aroma is regarded as earthier, warmer, and milder than that of the Mediterranean common thyme.

It pairs well with root vegetables, cabbage, pulses, tomatoes, and courgettes, and is suitable for herb blends, herb butter, dips, pestos, marinades, and savoury baked goods. When dried, it enriches roasts, ragouts, pasta sauces, herb oils, herb salts, and oven dishes. It also refines risotto, lamb dishes, pickled vegetables, savoury jams, infused honey, and chutneys.

It thrives particularly well in sunny to semi‑shaded, dry to fresh locations and copes with poor, stony soils as well as nutrient‑poor potting mixes. The plant remains compact, responds very well to pruning, and regenerates quickly. Thanks to its undemanding nature, it is ideal for urban gardening, exposed sites, and nature‑friendly gardens. It requires little water, withstands dry periods and frost phases, and stabilises light soils with its prostrate to slightly upright growth. As a perennial species, it is perfect for long‑term herb beds, wild herb meadows, and permaculture systems, delivering reliable harvests. In mixed culture, it shows good compatibility, and its long flowering period from June to September provides valuable food for pollinators.

Its preferred habitats include meadows, roadsides, pastures, gardens and open, nutrient‑rich sites. Since antiquity it has been valued as a medicinal and useful plant; leaves, roots and flowers were considered digestive‑stimulating, cleansing and strengthening.

In the 11th century it appears in European herbal manuscripts, and in the 12th century Hildegard of Bingen notes its strengthening properties. In the early modern period, dandelion is listed in herbals as a versatile wild herb whose roots, leaves and flowers were used for “purifying the blood”, “strengthening digestion” and “stimulating metabolism”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, the young leaves served as a vitamin‑rich spring green, the flowers for syrups, teas and mild herbal preparations, while the root was roasted as a coffee substitute or used for extracts.

In the wild, it grows primarily in sunny ruderal areas, roadsides, and gravelly or stony surfaces such as stream banks and railway tracks. The unique plant develops long inflorescences from a large rosette of leaves with flowers that open at sunset and bloom until the next midday. Because it blooms for a long time, this versatile species is an important source of food for insects. All parts of the plant are edible. The strong, starchy, and fleshy roots have a spicy aroma and can be prepared like salsify or grated into salads. The taste of the roots is reminiscent of horseradish and celery. The high-quality and well-known healing evening primrose oil is made from the seeds, which is used for skin conditions such as neurodermatitis, period pain, rheumatic complaints, arthritis, or as an additive and active ingredient in cosmetic creams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #1f2124\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eGeneral information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant family: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnagraceae\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLife cycle: \u003c\/strong\u003eBiennial\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDays to harvest: \u003c\/strong\u003e100 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant height approx.: \u003c\/strong\u003e100 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoot type: \u003c\/strong\u003eDeep rooter\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNutrient requirements: \u003c\/strong\u003eLow\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater requirements: \u003c\/strong\u003eLow\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinter hardiness: \u003c\/strong\u003eUp to -34°C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocation: \u003c\/strong\u003eSunny\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil: \u003c\/strong\u003ePermeable, humus-rich sandy loam soil\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH value: \u003c\/strong\u003e6.5 to 7.5\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSowing and planting information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination type: \u003c\/strong\u003eLight germinator\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing depth: \u003c\/strong\u003e0 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal germination temperature: \u003c\/strong\u003e16-20 °C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination time: \u003c\/strong\u003e14-21 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant and row spacing: \u003c\/strong\u003e25x25 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination ability of seeds: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e70years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eMixed culture\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnfavorable mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSowing by climate zone\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g.

For pre-cultivation, sow the seeds in a small tray and allow the seedlings to grow until the first visible paracress leaves appear, then transplant them into the desired container. After transplanting, allow the seedlings to grow at moderate temperatures until they are ready to plant out as seedlings. Plant the seedlings in the garden bed when the second pair of leaves appears after the cotyledons.

When grown in pots, the plant should be overwintered at temperatures between 5 and 15°C, ideally in a conservatory. Excessive soil salinity can impair its growth.
